Abstract
Herein, a novel and facile eco-friendly green chemistry approach has been devised at room temperature for synthesis of 1D hierarchical Cu7S4 hollow nanotubes on Cu substrate via volatile organosulfur compounds from Allium sativum L for non-enzymatic glucose detection. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to characterize the surface morphology, structural phase, compositional, and chemical states of the obtained samples, respectively. The SEM results confirm the formation of 1D hierarchical Cu7S4 hollow nanotubes. The XRD patterns are indexed to orthogonal anilite Cu7S4 crystal planes and the EDX spectra clearly reveal the presence of Cu and S elements. XPS spectra confirms peaks of Cu 2p and S 1s core levels, which are typical characteristics of Cu(i) and S(ii), respectively. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area for obtained Cu7S4 hollow nanotubes is 2.07 m2 g-1 with a pore size distribution of 27.90 nm. Using Cu7S4 hollow nanotubes, the detection of non-enzymatic glucose was conducted over a dynamic range of concentrations from 0.5 to 100 μmol L-1 and reveals a high sensitivity of 1058.33 μA mM-1cm-2 and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.127 μmol L-1. The obtained results indicated that Cu7S4 hollow nanotubes are promising candidates for non-enzymatic glucose detection.

Jakkrawhad C, Makkliang F, Nurerk P, Siaj M, Poorahong S. Iron-based metal-organic framework/graphene oxide composite electrodes for efficient flow-injection amperometric detection of dexamethasone. RSC Adv 2024; 14:23921-23929. [PMID: 39086520 PMCID: PMC11289712 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03815k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
A highly stable flow-injection amperometric sensor for dexamethasone (DEX) was developed using a pencil graphite electrode (PGE) modified with Fe-based metal organic frameworks, MIL-100(Fe) and graphene oxide composite materials (MIL-100(Fe)/GO). Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the MIL-100(Fe) composites. The MIL-100(Fe)/GO-modified PGE (denoted MIL-100(Fe)/GO/PGE) was further electrochemically characterized using cyclic voltammetry. As an electrode material, MIL-100(Fe) is a sensing element that undergoes oxidation from Fe(ii)-MOF to Fe(iii)-MOF, and GO possesses high conductivity and a large surface area, which exhibits high absorbability. In the presence of DEX, Fe(iii) is reduced, which accelerates electron transfer at the electrode interface. Therefore, DEX can be quantitatively detected by analyzing the anodic current of MIL-100(Fe). When coupled with amperometric flow injection analysis, excellent performance can be obtained even when a low detection potential is applied (+0.10 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The concentration was linear in the range 0.10-5.0 μM and 0.010-5.0 mM with LOD of 0.030 μM based on 3(sd/slope). The modified electrode also exhibited a remarkably stable response under optimized conditions, and up to 55 injections can be used per electrode. The sensor exhibits high repeatability, reproducibility, and anti-interference properties when used for DEX detection. The effective determination of dexamethasone in real pharmaceutical and cosmetic samples demonstrated the feasibility of the electrochemical sensor, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained from the HPLC-DAD analysis. Acceptable percentage recoveries from the spiked pharmaceutical and cosmetic samples were obtained, ranging from 93-111% for this new method compared with 84-107% for the HPLC-DAD standard method.

Glucose concentration is a crucial parameter for assessing human health. Over recent years, non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensors have drawn considerable attention due to their substantial progress. This review explores the common mechanism behind the transition metal-based electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose molecules through classical electrocatalytic frameworks like the Pletcher model and the Hydrous Oxide-Adatom Mediator model (IHOAM), as well as the redox reactions at the transition metal centers. It further compiles the electrochemical characterization techniques, associated formulas, and their ensuing conclusions pertinent to transition metal-based non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensors. Subsequently, the review covers the latest advancements in the field of transition metal-based active materials and support materials used in non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensors in the last decade (2014-2023). Additionally, it presents a comprehensive classification of representative studies according to the active metal catalysts components involved.

The Slight Adjustment in the Weight of Sulfur Sheets to Synthesize β-NiS Nanobelts for Maintaining Detection of Lower Concentrations of Glucose through a Long-Term Storage Test. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2371.

Abstract
The β-nickel sulfide (β-NiS) nanobelts were fabricated by electrodepositing a nickel nanosheet film on Indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates and sulfuring the nickel film on ITO-coated glass substrates. The sulfurization method can be used to form nanobelts without a template. A small glass tube was used to anneal the sulfur sheet with a nickel nanosheet film. After applying vacuum to the tube, the specimen was annealed at 500 °C. By adjusting the weight of the sulfur sheet in a small glass tube, a nanobelt structure can be formed on the film for 4 h. The β-NiS nanobelt film had a sulfide and nickel molar ratio that was nearly 0.7 (S/Ni). After five years of a long-term storage test, the β-NiS nanobelt films were able to measure the glucose in a solution with the value of sensitivity of 8.67 µA cm-2 µM-1. The β-NiS nanobelt film also detected glucose with a limit of low detection (LOD) of around 0.173 µM. The estimation of reproducibility was over 98%. Therefore, the β-NiS nanobelt film has a significant ability to detect low concentrations of glucose in a solution.

Abstract
Abstract
Glucose sensing devices have experienced significant progress in the last years in response to the demand for cost-effective monitoring. Thus, research efforts have been focused on achieving reliable, selective, and sensitive sensors able to monitor the glucose level in different biofluids. The development of enzyme-based devices is challenged by poor stability, time-consuming, and complex purification procedures, facts that have given rise to the synthesis of enzyme-free sensors. Recent advances focus on the use of different components: metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), carbon nanomaterials, or metal oxides. Motivated by this topic, several reviews have been published addressing the sensor materials and synthesis methods, gathering relevant information for the development of new nanostructures. However, the abundant information has not concluded yet in commercial devices and is not useful from an engineering point of view. The dependence of the electrode response on its physico-chemical nature, which would determine the selection and optimization of the materials and synthesis method, remains an open question. Thus, this review aims to critically analyze from an engineering vision the existing information on non-enzymatic glucose electrodes; the analysis is performed linking the response in terms of sensitivity when interferences are present, stability, and response under physiological conditions to the electrode characteristics.

Abstract
In this work, we report a wafer-scale and chemical-free fabrication of nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) heteroatomic Cu–Ni thin films using RF magnetron sputtering technique for non-enzymatic glucose sensing application. The as-prepared wafer-scale Cu–Ni thin films exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity toward glucose oxidation with a 1.86 μM detection limit in the range of 0.01 mM to 20 mM range. The Cu–Ni film shows 1.3- and 5.4-times higher glucose oxidation activity in comparison to the Cu and Ni electrodes, respectively. The improved electrocatalytic activity is attributed to the synergistic effect of the bimetallic catalyst and high density of grain boundaries. The Cu–Ni electrodes also possessed excellent anti-interference characteristics. These results indicate that Cu–Ni heteroatomic thin film can be a potential candidate for the development of non-enzymatic glucose biosensor because of its chemical free synthesis, excellent reproducibility, reusability, and long-term stability.

Abstract
Gold electrodes (GE) were modified by the deposition of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs), followed by drop-casting of the ferrocene derivative FcCO-Glu-Cys-Gly-OH (Fc-ECG), resulting in two enzyme-free electrochemical sensors Fc-ECG/CuNPs/GE and Fc-ECG/CuNPs/GE. The ferrocene-peptide conjugate acts as an effective redox mediator for glucose oxidation, while metal nanoparticles acted as non-biological sites for glucose oxidation. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were carried out for characterization, while differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used for glucose quantification. Under optimized conditions, DPV shows a linear relationship between glucose concentration and the peak current. Both sensors showed a surprisingly high sensitivity of 217.27 and 378.70 μA mM-1 cm-2, respectively. A comparison to other glucose sensors shows a sensitivity that is 25 times higher. The sensors exhibit good reproducibility, stability, and repeatability. In injection experiments, recovery rates were 87.39-107.65% and 100.00-106.88%, respectively.
