Abstract |
|
|
|
Three-Dimensional (3-D) CuO nanoflowers (CuO NFs) were synthesized and applied to construct a non-enzymatic sensor for the detection of glucose and other carbohydrates in neutral solution. The electrochemical property of 3-D CuO NFs in neutral pH environment was first investigated by cyclic voltammetry in the absence and presence of glucose. It is interesting to find that the oxidation/reduction peaks of CuO NFs were significantly suppressed in the presence of glucose and the suppression of peak current showed a concentration-dependent behavior, thus providing a new sensing platform for glucose and other carbohydrates detection in neutral pH solution. The investigation of the sensing mechanism using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and equivalent circuit model reveals that the suppression of oxidation/reduction peaks of CuO NFs in the presence of target could be ascribed to the specific adsorption of glucose on CuO NFs, which results in the significant change of adsorption resistance. Differential pulse voltammetry was further applied to detect glucose in pH 7.0 solution, which shows a wide dynamic range and good selectivity against uric acid and ascorbic acid. The application of CuO NFs for the detection of other carbohydrates in neutral pH was also demonstrated. These features implicate the potential applicability of 3-D CuO NFs in non-enzymatic glucose and other carbohydrates detection in neutral medium.
