Preparation of Self‐Driven Triboelectric Nanosensor Based on Chitosan‐Coated Ti Foil for Detecting Blood Glucose Concentration

Abstract

The clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus typically depends on blood glucose measurements. Many laboratory studies have focused on enzyme–electrode biosensors that require an external power source. In this study, the potential of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) as self‐driven sensors for glucose detection is investigated by utilizing the glucose specificity of glucose oxidase. When immersed in glucose solutions with concentrations ranging from 3.9 to 13.1 mmol L−1, the TENGs exhibit a linear relationship between the glucose concentration and current and voltage changes. These findings suggest that the TENGs developed in this study can effectively function as glucose sensors, providing a foundation for future human blood glucose monitoring applications and demonstrating a promising new approach for biomedical sensor technology.
