A non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor was to be developed for the detection of glucose by combining the features of a molecularly imprinted polymer, the high conductive nature of polyaniline, and hierarchical dendritic structures. To meet this aim, a bimetallic film-coated graphite electrode was electropolymerized in the presence of aniline monomers to obtain a glucose-imprinted bimetallic polymeric film-coated electrode. The parameters affecting the electrodeposition were optimized using Minitab 19.1 software, and the mechanism of electrooxidation of glucose on the electrode surface was proposed. Electrochemical and morphological characterization of the fabricated electrode revealed its sensitivity toward millimolar amounts of glucose and showed higher selectivity in the presence of interfering species.
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.
