Preparation and characterization of NiO–Ag nanofibers, NiO nanofibers, and porous Ag: towards the development of a highly sensitive and selective non-enzymatic glucose sensor

Synthesis of mesoporous CuO microspheres with core-in-hollow-shell structure and its application for non-enzymatic sensing of glucose

“…Therefore, the glucose sensor based on CuO-P can eliminate interference and enable the selective detection of glucose. According to the previous reports [30,31], the good selectivity of the CuOmodified electrodes can be interpreted by a repelling effect of the CuO surface against AA and UA. As known, CuO has an isoelectric point (IEP) of 9.5 [32] that means the CuO surface would be negatively charged in 0.1 M NaOH solution (pH = 13).…”

Constructing heterostructure on highly roughened caterpillar-like gold nanotubes with cuprous oxide grains for ultrasensitive and stable nonenzymatic glucose sensor

“…At high potential sweep rates, the peak currents are proportional to the square root of scan rate in the range of 60-200 mV s À 1 (Fig. 3C), indicating that the redox reaction is a surface-controlled electrochemical process (Ding et al, , 2010b which is ideal for the quantitative analysis in practical applications.

Facile procedure to synthesize highly crystalline Ag/NiO nanocomposite microspheres and their photocatalytic activity

“…While there are a large number of reports on such hybrid materials [25,26], the synthetic procedure has been limited and is still in great need for innovation. To date, noble metallic Ag is known to have unique electric and catalytic properties, and be further used to enhance the chemical and physical properties of noble metal/oxide semiconductor materials [27][28][29]. Zhang et al [30] have synthesized diverse noble metal/Fe 2 O 3 hybrid materials by using lysine as a linker.…”
