Abstract
Globally, food safety and security are receiving a lot of attention to ensure a steady supply of nutrient-rich and safe food. Nanotechnology is used in a wide range of technical processes, including the development of new materials and the enhancement of food safety and security. Nanomaterials are used to improve the protective effects of food and help detect microbial contamination, hazardous chemicals, and pesticides. Nanosensors are used to detect pathogens and allergens in food. Food processing is enhanced further by nanocapsulation, which allows for the delivery of bioactive compounds, increases food bioavailability, and extends food shelf life. Various forms of nanomaterials have been developed to improve food safety and enhance agricultural productivity, including nanometals, nanorods, nanofilms, nanotubes, nanofibers, nanolayers, and nanosheets. Such materials are used for developing nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, and nanomaterials to induce plant growth, genome modification, and transgene expression in plants. Nanomaterials have antimicrobial properties, promote plants' innate immunity, and act as delivery agents for active ingredients. Nanocomposites offer good acid-resistance capabilities, effective recyclability, significant thermostability, and enhanced storage stability. Nanomaterials have been extensively used for the targeted delivery and release of genes and proteins into plant cells. In this review article, we discuss the role of nanotechnology in food safety and security. Furthermore, we include a partial literature survey on the use of nanotechnology in food packaging, food safety, food preservation using smart nanocarriers, the detection of food-borne pathogens and allergens using nanosensors, and crop growth and yield improvement; however, extensive research on nanotechnology is warranted.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15051099. [PMID: 36904340 PMCID: PMC10007424 DOI: 10.3390/polym15051099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Owing to the remarkable antimicrobial potential of these materials, research into the possible use of nanomaterials as alternatives to fungicides in sustainable agriculture is increasingly progressing. Here, we investigated the potential antifungal properties of chitosan-decorated copper oxide nanocomposite (CH@CuO NPs) to control gray mold diseases of tomato caused by Botrytis cinerea throughout in vitro and in vivo trials. The nanocomposite CH@CuO NPs were chemically prepared, and size and shape were determined using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The chemical functional groups responsible for the interaction of the CH NPs with the CuO NPs were detected using the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometry. The TEM images confirmed that CH NPs have a thin and semitransparent network shape, while CuO NPs were spherically shaped. Furthermore, the nanocomposite CH@CuO NPs ex-habited an irregular shape. The size of CH NPs, CuO NPs and CH@CuO NPs as measured through TEM, were approximately 18.28 ± 2.4 nm, 19.34 ± 2.1 nm, and 32.74 ± 2.3 nm, respectively. The antifungal activity of CH@CuO NPs was tested at three concentrations of 50, 100 and 250 mg/L and the fungicide Teldor 50% SC was applied at recommended dose 1.5 mL/L. In vitro experiments revealed that CH@CuO NPs at different concentrations significantly inhibited the reproductive growth process of B. cinerea by suppressing the development of hyphae, spore germination and formation of sclerotia. Interestingly, a significant control efficacy of CH@CuO NPs against tomato gray mold was observed particularly at concentrations 100 and 250 mg/L on both detached leaves (100%) as well as the whole tomato plants (100%) when compared to the conventional chemical fungicide Teldor 50% SC (97%). In addition, the tested concentration 100 mg/L improved to be sufficient to guarantee a complete reduction in the disease's severity (100%) to tomato fruits from gray mold without any morphological toxicity. In comparison, tomato plants treated with the recommended dose 1.5 mL/L of Teldor 50% SC ensured disease reduction up to 80%. Conclusively, this research enhances the concept of agro-nanotechnology by presenting how a nano materials-based fungicide could be used to protect tomato plants from gray mold under greenhouse conditions and during the postharvest stage.

Abstract
Sucrose is a primary metabolite in plants, a source of energy, a source of carbon atoms for growth and development, and a regulator of biochemical processes. Most of the traditional analytical chemistry methods for sucrose quantification in plants require sample treatment (with consequent tissue destruction) and complex facilities, that do not allow real-time sucrose quantification at ultra-low concentrations (nM to pM range) under in vivo conditions, limiting our understanding of sucrose roles in plant physiology across different plant tissues and cellular compartments. Some of the above-mentioned problems may be circumvented with the use of bio-compatible ligands for molecular recognition of sucrose. Nevertheless, problems such as the signal-noise ratio, stability, and selectivity are some of the main challenges limiting the use of molecular recognition methods for the in vivo quantification of sucrose. In this review, we provide a critical analysis of the existing analytical chemistry tools, biosensors, and synthetic ligands, for sucrose quantification and discuss the most promising paths to improve upon its limits of detection. Our goal is to highlight the criteria design need for real-time, in vivo, highly sensitive and selective sucrose sensing capabilities to enable further our understanding of living organisms, the development of new plant breeding strategies for increased crop productivity and sustainability, and ultimately to contribute to the overarching need for food security.

Abstract
The electrical spark discharge method was used to prepare graphene copper nanocomposite (GNS-Cu) colloids under normal temperature and pressure. Cu and graphite were mixed in deionized water at a Cu : C mass ratio of 9 : 1 (99% purity), and the mixture was used to produce composite rods as the electrodes for spark machining. An electrical discharge machine with five settings of pulse cycle turn-on and turn-off times, namely 10-10, 30-30, 50-50, 70-70, and 90-90 μs, was used to prepare five different types of GNS-Cu colloids. The ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy results revealed that the highest absorbance (2.441) was observed when the turn-on and turn-off times were 30-30 μs, indicating that this configuration was most efficient for preparing GNS-Cu colloids. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis were also conducted to examine the surface characteristics and crystal structure of GNS-Cu colloids. The transmission electron microscopy results revealed that Cu particles in the GNS-Cu colloids were located within or on top of graphene sheets. The Cu particle size varied with the discharge efficiency, and the lattice spacing of the Cu particles was approximately 0.218 nm. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that no byproducts were formed from the preparation of GNS-Cu colloids, which had complete crystal structures.

Abstract
AbstractThe development of biosensors with innovative nanomaterials is crucial to enhance the sensing performance of as-prepared biosensors. In the present research work, we prepared copper (II) oxide (CuO) and graphene oxide (GO) composite nanofibers using the hydrothermal synthesis route. The structural and morphological properties of as-prepared GO/CuO nanofibers were analyzed using an X-ray diffractometer, field-emission scanning, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicated GO/CuO nanofibers exhibit nanosized diameters and lengths in the order of micrometers. These GO/CuO nanofibers were employed to prepare non-enzymatic biosensors (GO/CuO nanofibers/FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide)) modified electrodes for enhanced glucose detection. The sensing performance of the biosensors was evaluated using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and chronoamperometry in phosphate buffer solution (PBS). GO/CuO/FTO biosensor achieved high sensitivity of 1274.8 μA mM−1cm−2 having a linear detection range from 0.1 to 10 mM with the lower detection limit (0.13 μM). Further, the prepared biosensor showed good reproducibility repeatability, excellent selectivity, and long-time stability. Moreover, the technique used for the preparation of the GO/CuO composite is simple, rapid, cost-effective, and eco-friendly. These electrodes are employed for the detection of glucose in blood serum with RSD ~ 1.58%.

Abstract
Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) were decorated on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) through the effective synthetic route method. Powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet-visible absorption, and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to analyze the chemical structure, functional groups, absorbance, and morphology. Under visible light illumination, the CuO/rGO nanocomposites have higher catalytic activity compared to the bare CuO NPs which were suitable for degradation of methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) dyes. According to the findings, the CuO/rGO nanocomposites possess excellent photocatalytic efficiency. Thus, the synthesized CuO/rGO nanocomposite is a promising photocatalyst for the deterioration of organic pollutants in water and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Iron oxides are considered promising electrode materials owing to their capability of lithium storage, but their poor conductivity and large volume expansion lead to unsatisfactory cycling stability. In this paper, an inexpensive, highly effective, and facile approach to the synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles/reduced graphene oxide composite (Fe3O4/RGO) is designed. The synthesized Fe3O4/RGO composite exhibits high reversible capability and excellent cyclic capacity as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A reversible capability of 701.8 mAh/g after 50 cycles at a current density of 200 mA·g−1 can be maintained. The synergetic effect of unique structure and high conductivity RGO promises a well soakage of electrolyte, high structure stability, leading to an excellent electrochemical performance. It is believed that the study will provide a feasible strategy to produce transition metal oxide/carbon composite electrodes with excellent electrochemical performance for LIBs.

Abstract
Background:
Sample preparation is crucially important for the capillary electrophoretic
measurement of the bioactive constituents in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium because conventional
solvent extraction is time-consuming and the solvent peaks seriously interfere with the measured
capillary electropherograms.
Objective:
The objective of the present study is to establish far infrared-assisted sample preparation
approaches for the analysis of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium.
Methods:
Synephrine and hesperidin in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium were determined by capillary
electrophoresis in combination with far infrared-assisted sample extraction and solvent removal.
Results:
The effects of detection potentials, irradiation times and the voltages applied to the infrared
generator were investigated to acquire the optimal assay conditions. Synephrine and hesperidin
could be well separated within 6 min at a separation voltage of 9 kV in an alkaline borate solution.
Satisfactory linearity was observed over the concentration range of 0.001 to 1 mM with the detection
limits of 0.43 and 0.52 μM for synephrine and hesperidin, respectively. The results exhibited
that far infrared irradiations could enhance the efficiencies of sample extraction and solvent removal
during the sample preparation of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium. The extraction time was
significantly reduced to 6 min while the interference of the solvent peaks towards the electropherograms
was eliminated.
Conclusion:
Far infrared-accelerated extraction and solvent removal were employed in the capillary
electrophoretic determination of the bioactive constituents in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium
with satisfactory results. The ease, simplicity, efficiency and low cost of the novel sample preparation
approaches indicate they may find a wide range of applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Wound healing, especially of infected wounds, remains a clinical challenge in plastic surgery. This study aimed to manufacture a novel and multifunctional wound dressing by combining graphene oxide/copper nanocomposites (GO/Cu) with chitosan/hyaluronic acid, providing significant opportunities for the therapy of wound repair in wounds with a high risk of bacterial infection. METHODS In this study, GO/Cu-decorated chitosan/hyaluronic acid dressings (C/H/GO/Cu) were prepared using sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) crosslinking and the vacuum freeze-drying method, and chitosan/hyaluronic acid dressings (C/H) and GO-incorporated chitosan/hyaluronic acid dressings (C/H/GO) served as controls. The surface characterization, in vitro degradation under various pH values, antimicrobial potential, cytocompatibility and in vivo therapeutic efficacy in a bacteria-infected full-thickness skin defect model were systematically evaluated. RESULTS Our experimental results indicated that the acidic environment facilitated the release of copper (CuNPs and Cu2+) from the dressings, and prepared C/H/GO/Cu dressings exhibited significant in vitro antimicrobial activities against the two tested bacterial strains (ATCC35984 and ATCC25923). All three dressings showed satisfactory cytocompatibility with mouse fibroblasts (NIH/3T3-L1). Moreover, remarkably accelerated wound healing was found in the C/H/GO/Cu group, with controlled inflammatory infiltration and improved angiogenesis in granulation tissues. In addition, no pathological damage was noted in the tissue structures of the tested organs (heart, lung, liver and kidney) in any of the four groups. CONCLUSION Collectively, GO/Cu-incorporated chitosan/hyaluronic acid dressings suggested a synergistic antimicrobial efficacy and acceptable biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo, as well as a significantly accelerated healing process of bacteria-infected wounds. Thus, the multifunctional C/H/GO/Cu composite is expected to be a potential alternative for wound dressings, especially for the management of intractable wounds caused by bacterial infection.

Abstract
Coated stainless steel was used as an in-tube solid-phase microextraction for the extraction of letrozole from plasma samples. The coating process on the inner surface of the stainless steel was conducted by a simple electrodeposition process. The coated composite was prepared from 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and graphene oxide. In this composite, graphene oxide acts as an anion dopant and sorbent. The coated nanostructured polymer was characterized using different techniques. The operational factors affecting the extraction process, including pH, adsorption, and desorption time, the recycling flow rate of the sample solution, sample volume, desorption solvent type and its volume, and ionic strength were optimized to achieve the best extraction efficiency of the analyte. The total extraction time including adsorption and desorption steps was about 15.0 min. The developed method demonstrated a linear range of 5.0-1500.0 μg/L with a limit of detection of 1.0 μg/L. The repeatability of the developed extraction approach in terms of intraday, interday, and fiber to fiber was attained in the range of 4.9-8.3%. After finding the optimal conditions, the potential of the described approach for letrozole quantitation was investigated in plasma samples, and satisfactory results were obtained.

Abstract
Bulk-scale syntheses of sp2 nanocarbon have typically been generated by extensive chemical oxidation to yield graphite oxide from graphite, followed by a reductive step. Materials generated via harsh random processes lose desirable physical characteristics. Loss of sp2 conjugation inhibits long-range electronic transport and the potential for electronic band manipulation. Here, we present a nanopatterned holey graphene material electronically hybridized with metal-containing nanoparticles. Oxidative plasma etching of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite via previously developed covalent organic framework (COF)-5-templated patterning yields bulk-scale materials for electrocatalytic applications and fundamental investigations into band structure engineering of nanocomposites. We establish a broad ability (Ag, Au, Cu, and Ni) to grow metal-containing nanoparticles in patterned holes in a metal precursor-dependent manner without a reducing agent. Graphene nanoparticle compounds (GNCs) show metal-contingent changes in the valence band structure. Density functional theory investigations reveal preferences for uncharged metal states, metal contributions to the valence band, and embedding of nanoparticles over surface incorporation. Ni-GNCs show activity for oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media (1 M KOH). Electrocatalytic activity exceeds 10,000 mA/mg of Ni, shows stability for 2 h of continuous operation, and is kinetically consistent via a Tafel slope with Ni(OH)2-based catalysis.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic disease that can seriously affect human health. Therefore it is important to develop a rapid and highly sensitive enzyme-free glucose sensor to aid the treatment of diabetes. In this work, homogeneous NiCo2O4 nanowire arrays were synthesized in an orderly fashion on flexible carbon cloth (CC) by a facile hydrothermal method. Then well-structured zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) nanocubes were grown in situ on the as-prepared NiCo2O4 nanowires to form a hybrid nanoarchitecture. The hierarchical structure was transformed into a Co3O4/NiCo2O4/CC composite after annealing in the air. The as-prepared electrode was put into 0.1 M NaOH, and cyclic voltammetry and amperometry were employed to investigate its electrocatalytic properties at room temperature. It was found that the Co3O4/NiCo2O4/CC electrode exhibited outstanding sensing properties towards glucose, including terrific sensitivity (12.835 mA mM-1 cm-2), a wide linear range (from 1 μM to 1.127 mM), a low detection limit (0.64 μM) and a fast response time (within 2 s). In addition, it also had excellent selectivity, reproducibility and stability. The improvement in enzyme-free glucose sensing, in addition to the high porosity and large specific surface area of metal organic framework-derived Co3O4 hollow nanocubes, can be attributed to the NiCo2O4 nanowire arrays affording fast channels for electron transfer between CC and Co3O4. Accordingly, this method, which directly prepares hierarchical composite nanomaterials on a conductive substrate, may open up a new perspective for the enhancement of non-enzymatic glucose-sensing properties.

Abstract
A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with a nanocomposite prepared from nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and then loaded with platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) to obtain a voltammetric sensor for daunorubicin (DNR). Reductive doping of GO and the crystallization of the Pt NPs were carried out in a one-step hydrothermal process. The modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. It exhibited high sensitivity compared with unmodified electrode. Some experimental parameters which affected sensor response were optimized. Under optimum conditions and at a working voltage of typically -0.56 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), the sensor has a low detection limit (3 ng mL-1), a wide linear range (0.01-6 μg mL-1) and good long-term stability. The method was successfully applied to the sensitive and rapid determination of DNR in spiked human serum samples. Graphical abstract Platinum nanoparticles were loaded onto a nanocomposite prepared from nitrogen decorated reduced graphene oxide and single-walled carbon nanotubes (N-rGO-SWCNTs-Pt) and then used for electrochemical determination of daunorubicin (DNR).

Abstract
In this study, a novel graphene/Ag3PO4 quantum dot (rGO/Ag3PO4 QD) composite was successfully synthesized via a facile one-step photo-ultrasonic-assisted reduction method for the first time. The composites were analyzed by various techniques. According to the obtained results, Ag3PO4 QDs with a size of 1-4 nm were uniformly dispersed on rGO nanosheets to form rGO/Ag3PO4 QD composites. The photocatalytic activity of rGO/Ag3PO4 QD composites was evaluated by the decomposition of methylene blue (MB). Meanwhile, effects of the surfactant dosage and the amount of rGO on the photocatalytic activity were also investigated. It was found that rGO/Ag3PO4 QDs (WrGO:Wcomposite = 2.3%) composite exhibited better photocatalytic activity and stability with degrading 97.5% of MB within 5 min. The improved photocatalytic activities and stabilities were majorly related to the synergistic effect between Ag3PO4 QDs and rGO with high specific surface area, which gave rise to efficient interfacial transfer of photogenerated electrons and holes on both materials. Moreover, possible formation and photocatalytic mechanisms of rGO/Ag3PO4 QDs were proposed. The obtained rGO/Ag3PO4 QDs photocatalysts would have great potentials in sewage treatment and water splitting.

In this study, a hydrothermal method was used to synthesize a series of bimetallic Cu–Ce/graphene catalysts, and the effects of the proportions of Cu and Ce on CO oxidation were investigated in detail. Indispensable characterizations such as XPS, XRD, TEM, BET, and H2-TPR were conducted to explore the effect of the Cu/Ce molar ratio and the metal valence on the activity and determine the structure–performance relationship. The results showed that bimetallic supported catalysts, such as 3Cu5Ce/graphene, 1Cu1Ce/graphene, and 5Cu3Ce/graphene, possessed significant catalytic activity. Especially, the 5Cu3Ce/graphene catalyst showed highest catalytic activity for CO oxidation, the T100 value was 132 °C, and the apparent activation energy was 68.03 kJ mol−1. Furthermore, the stability of the 5Cu3Ce/graphene catalyst was outstanding, which could be maintained for at least 12 h. Moreover, the CeO2 particles were well crystalline with the size 5–9 nm in these catalysts, and the CuO nanoparticles were well dispersed on CeO2 and graphene. Notably, the ratio of Cu/Ce in the catalyst was higher, the interaction between the Ce species and the graphene was stronger, and the Cu species were more easily reduced; this was beneficial for the oxidation of CO. Cu–Ce/graphene catalysts show high dispersion of metal particles and excellent activity and stability for catalytic oxidation.![]()

Abstract
Graphene, one of the most attractive two-dimensional nanomaterials, has demonstrated a broad range of applications because of its excellent electronic, mechanical, optical, and chemical properties. In this work, a general, environmentally friendly, one-pot method for the fabrication of reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/metal (oxide) (e.g., RGO/Au, RGO/Cu2O, and RGO/Ag) composties was developed using glucose as the reducing agent and the stabilizer. The glucose not only reduced GO effectively to RGO but also reduced the metal precursors to form metal (oxide) nanoparticles on the surface of RGO. Moreover, the RGO/metal (oxide) composites were stabilized by gluconic acid on the surface of RGO. The developed RGO/metal (oxide) composites were characterized using STEM, FE-SEM, EDS, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, XRD, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy. Finally, the developed nanomaterials were successfully applied as an electrode catalyst to simultaneous electrochemical analysis of l-ascorbic acid, dopamine, and uric acid.

Abstract
Graphene-based nanocomposites have a vast potential for wide-ranging antibacterial applications due to the inherently strong biocidal activity and versatile compatibility of such nanocomposites. Therefore, graphene-based functional nanomaterials can introduce enhanced antibiofouling and antimicrobial properties to polymeric membrane surfaces. In this study, reduced graphene oxide-copper (rGOC) nanocomposites were synthesized as newly robust biocides via in situ reduction. Inspired by the emerging method of bridging ultrafiltration membrane surface cavities, loose nanofiltration (NF) membranes were designed using a rapid (2 h) bioinspired strategy in which rGOC nanocomposites were firmly codeposited with polydopamine (PDA) onto an ultrafiltration support. A series of analyses (SEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, TEM, and AFM) confirmed the successful synthesis of the rGO-Cu nanocomposites. The secure loading of rGOC composites onto the membrane surfaces was also confirmed by SEM and AFM images. Water contact angle results display a high surface hydrophilicity of the modified membranes. The PDA-rGOC functionalization layer facilitated a high water permeability (22.8 L m-2 h-1 bar-1). The PDA-rGOC modification additionally furnished the membrane with superior separation properties advantageous for various NF applications such as dye purification or desalination, as ultrahigh (99.4% for 0.5 g L-1 reactive blue 2) dye retention and high salt permeation (7.4% for 1.0 g L-1 Na2SO4, 2.5% for 1.0 g L-1 NaCl) was achieved by the PDA-rGOC-modified membranes. Furthermore, after 3 h of contact with Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria, the rGOC-functionalized membranes exhibited a strong antibacterial performance with a 97.9% reduction in the number of live E. coli. This study highlights the use of rGOC composites for devising loose NF membranes with strong antibacterial and separation performance.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensor for D-mannitol based on molecularly imprinted polymer on electrode modified with reduced graphene oxide decorated with gold nanoparticles was developed in this present work. The sensor was constructed for the first time via the electropolymerization of o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) over a surface containing reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) in the presence of D-mannitol molecules. The surface modification with AuNP/RGO-GCE facilitated the charge transfer processes of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-, which was used as an electrochemical probe. It also contributed meaningfully towards the increase in the surface/volume ratio, creating more locations for imprinting, and providing greater sensitivity to the sensor. The MIP/AuNP/RGO-GCE sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Important parameters that exert control over the performance of the molecularly imprinted sensor (such as number of cycles, pH, monomer and template concentration and extraction and rebinding conditions) were investigated and optimized. The imprinting factor was 4.9, showing greater response to the D-mannitol molecule compared to the interfering molecules. The limit of detection, limit of quantification and amperometric sensitivity were 7.7×10-13molL-1, 2.6×10-12molL-1 and 3.9×1010µALmol-1 (n=3) respectively. The MIP/AuNP/RGO-GCE sensor was successfully applied towards the selective determination of D-mannitol in sugarcane vinasse, thus making it, in essence, a valuable tool for the accurate and reliable determination of this molecule.

Abstract
Perturbations in glucose homeostasis is critical for human health, as hyperglycemia (defining diabetes) leads to premature death caused by macrovascular and microvascular complications. However, the simple and accurate detection of glucose in the blood at low cost remains a challenging task, although it is of great importance for the diagnosis and therapy of diabetic patients. In this work, carbon quantum dots decorated with copper oxide nanostructures (CQDs/Cu2O) are prepared by a simple hydrothermal approach, and their potential for electrochemical non-enzymatic glucose sensing is evaluated. The proposed sensor exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity towards glucose oxidation in alkaline solutions. The glucose sensor is characterized by a wide concentration range from 6 µM to 6 mM, a sensitivity of 2.9 ± 0.2 µA·µM−1·cm−2, and a detection limit of 6 µM at a signal-to-noise ratio S/N = 3. The sensors are successfully applied for glucose determination in human serum samples, demonstrating that the CQDs/Cu2O-based glucose sensor satisfies the requirements of complex sample detection with adapted potential for therapeutic diagnostics.
