We report on the synthesis of copper (II) oxide (CuO)/indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode via the electrochemical deposition method using a CuSO4 solution and then thermal oxidation in air at temperature of 400 oC for 2 h. The crystalline structure and morphology of CuO were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical properties of the CuO/ITO electrode to glucose in the alkaline medium of 0.1 M NaOH solution were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Chronnoamperometry. The CuO-N/ITO electrode showed the best electrochemical properties for glucose detection in comparison to the others. Chronnoamperometry of CuO-N/ITO electrode to the glucose response showed excellent stability, the linear range of 1 mM to 3600 mM with high sensitivity of 283.6 mAcm-2mM-1 and 0.61 mM of the detection limit (S/N=3). A good response of the CuO-N/ITO electrode, which was investigated for different human serum samples, indicates a high potential of its towards a glucose sensor for analysis in real examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
