Photo-electrochemical properties of CuO–TiO₂ heterojunctions for glucose sensing

Abstract

Glucose sensing is promoted by halogen lamp photo-activation in CuO–TiO2 heterojunctions.

Structural and morphological tuning of Cu-based metal oxide nanoparticles by a facile chemical method and highly electrochemical sensing of sulphite

“…CuO is a P-type semiconductor with narrow bandgap (E g ) of 1.2 eV, which shows attractive properties such as high electrical conductivity, good stability, efficient electrode in photovoltaics, high mechanical strength, high catalytic activity and high temperature durability. Moreover, CuO is low cost and abundant non-toxic semiconductor [25][26][27][28][29] . The CuO based materials are widely used in gas sensor, photocatalyst and lithium ion electrode materials.…”

Metal Oxide-Based Composites in Nonenzymatic Electrochemical Glucose Sensors

“…CuO-TiO 2 exhibited fewer dimensions than that of pristine CuO, which enhanced the electrooxidation performance and in turn sensing. 145 A solution plasma technique was used by Yang et al 146 to fabricate electrodes of two metals (Cu-Ni) and their oxides (CuO-NiO) with graphene nanosheets (GNs). Cu-Ni/CuO-NiO (named CNO), Cu/CuO/ GNs (named CO/GNs), and Ni/NiO/GNs (named NO/ GNs) catalysts were synthesized by a similar method as a contrast.…”

Electrodeposited CuO thin film for wide linear range photoelectrochemical glucose sensing

“…MO semiconductors are mostly used in conjunction with a conductive support material, which shuttle electrons to promote conductivity. The majority of these systems are based on TiO 2 , a semiconductor material that has gotten a lot of interest for applications like gas sensors, solar cells, and water sensors [6]. Most of the MO based nonenzymatic glucose sensors suffer from a low linear range.…”
