Abstract Ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanospheres have been synthesized via a facile solvothermal procedure to serve as an electrode material for high performance non-enzymatic glucose sensor. The as-synthesized Fe3O4 nanospheres with a uniform size from 16 to 18 nm, which can increase the reaction contact area and the active sites in the process of glucose detection. Benefiting from the particular nanoscale structure, the Fe3O4 nanospheres obviously enhanced the activity of electrocatalytic oxidation towards glucose. When the Fe3O4 nanospheres material was used for non-enzymatic glucose sensor, several electrochemical properties including the high sensitivity 6560 μA mM−1 cm−2 (0.1–1.1 mM), limit of detection 33 μM (S/N = 3) and good long-term stability were well demonstrated. Furthermore, Fe3O4 nanospheres electrode confirmed the excellent performance of selectivity in glucose detection with the interfering substances existed such as urea, citric acid, ascorbic acid, and NaCl. Due to the excellent electrocatalytic activity in alkaline solution, the Fe3O4 nanospheres material can be considered as a promising candidate in blood glucose monitoring.

AbstractIn this work, porous NiMn2O4 nanosheet arrays on nickel foam (NiMn2O4 NSs@NF) was successfully fabricated by a simple hydrothermal step followed by a heat treatment. Porous NiMn2O4 NSs@NF is directly used as a sensor electrode for electrochemical detecting glucose. The NiMn2O4 nanosheet arrays are uniformly grown and packed on nickel foam to forming sensor electrode. The porous NiMn2O4 NSs@NF electrode not only provides the abundant accessible active sites and the effective ion-transport pathways, but also offers the efficient electron transport pathways for the electrochemical catalytic reaction by the high conductive nickel foam. This synergy effect endows porous NiMn2O4 NSs@NF with excellent electrochemical behaviors for glucose detection. The electrochemical measurements are used to investigate the performances of glucose detection. Porous NiMn2O4 NSs@NF for detecting glucose exhibits the high sensitivity of 12.2 mA mM−1 cm−2 at the window concentrations of 0.99–67.30 μM (correlation coefficient = 0.9982) and 12.3 mA mM−1 cm−2 at the window concentrations of 0.115–0.661 mM (correlation coefficient = 0.9908). In addition, porous NiMn2O4 NSs@NF also exhibits a fast response of 2 s and a low LOD of 0.24 µM. The combination of porous NiMn2O4 nanosheet arrays and nickel foam is a meaningful strategy to fabricate high performance non-enzymatic glucose sensor. These excellent properties reveal its potential application in the clinical detection of glucose.

Abstract:Glucose sensor based on ITO/ZnO NRs/GOx/nafion is fabricated and tested under different glucose concentrations. Hydrothermal growth method along with sol-gel technique is used to grow high quality ZnO nanorods that have well-alignment and high density with an acceptable aspect ratio. The as-grown of ZnO nanorods are used to fabricate a working electrode that can be used for glucose detection in blood after a modification process with GOx and nafion membrane. Annealing at 110 °C helped in improves the crystallinity of the seed layer and as a result, a high density and well alignment as-grown ZnO nanorods were obtained. High sensitivity and short response time were obtained from the fabricated device with an acceptable lower limit of detection.

Au nanodots decorated Cu2O nanooctahedrons were fabricated by a facile liquid-phase process combined with a galvanic replacement reaction for nonenzyme glucose detection. A simple rapid test strip based on the nanooctahedrons was proposed to evaluate the possibility of commercial application in nonenzymatic glucose detection. This test strip shows excellent response toward glucose. Linear response was obtained over a concentration ranging from 0.05 mM to 15 mM, and the detection accuracy is 0.05 mM. The good detection performance in selectivity, stability, and feasibility proving the great potential application in human blood glucose monitoring. This study demonstrated the possibility of a high-performance nonenzyme glucose test strip based on metal-oxide nanostructures decorated by catalysts.

Abstract Herein, an efficient electrochemical sensing platform is proposed for selective and sensitive detection of nitrite on the basis of Cu@C@Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Cu@C@ZIF-8) heterostructure. Core-shell Cu@C@ZIF-8 composite was synthesized by pyrolysis of Cu-metal-organic framework@ZIF-8 (Cu-MOF@ZIF-8) in Ar atmosphere on account of the difference of thermal stability between Cu-MOF and ZIF-8. For the sensing system of Cu@C@ZIF-8, ZIF-8 with proper pore size allows nitrite diffuse through the shell, while big molecules cannot, which ensures high selectivity of the sensor. On the other hand, Cu@C as electrocatalyst promotes the oxidation of nitrite, thereby resulting high sensitivity of the sensor. Accordingly, the Cu@C@ZIF-8 based sensor presents excellent performance for nitrite detection, which achieves a wide linear response range of 0.1 µM to 300.0 µM, and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.033 µM. In addition, the Cu@C@ZIF-8 sensor possesses excellent stability and reproducibility, and was employed to quantify nitrite in sausage samples with recoveries of 95.45-104.80%.

Abstract A thin-layer chromatographic (TLC)-densitometric method has been developed for identification and quantification of ciprofloxacin (Rf = 0.61) and an ethylenediamine compound (Rf = 0.42), a desfluoro compound (Rf = 0.48), by-compound A (Rf = 0.53), and fluoroquinolonic acid (Rf = 0.68) as ciprofloxacin degradation products in pharmaceutical preparations. By using chloroform–methanol–25% ammonia (43 + 43 + 14, v/v/v) as the mobile phase and silica gel 60 F254 high-performance TLC plates as the stationary phase, it was possible to separate individual constituents that, when subjected to ultraviolet (UV) densitometric analysis at 330 nm for fluoroquinolonic acid and 277 nm for the other compounds, gave well developed peaks allowing easy qualitative and quantitative analyses. DMSO–methanol (1 + 1) was used to extract drug constituents. The method showed high sensitivity (limit of detection 10 to 44 ng), a wide linearity range (3 to 20 μg/mL), and good precision (2.32 to 6.46% relative standard deviation) and accuracy (percentage recoveries 98.62 to 101.52%) for individual constituents.

Wearable pressure sensors have attracted widespread attention in recent years because of their great potential in human healthcare applications such as physiological signals monitoring. A desirable pressure sensor should possess the advantages of high sensitivity, a simple manufacturing process, and good stability. Here, we present a highly sensitive, simply fabricated wearable resistive pressure sensor based on three-dimensional microstructured carbon nanowalls (CNWs) embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate. The method of using unpolished silicon wafers as templates provides an easy approach to fabricate the irregular microstructure of CNWs/PDMS electrodes, which plays a significant role in increasing the sensitivity and stability of resistive pressure sensors. The sensitivity of the CNWs/PDMS pressure sensor with irregular microstructures is as high as 6.64 kPa−1 in the low-pressure regime, and remains fairly high (0.15 kPa−1) in the high-pressure regime (~10 kPa). Both the relatively short response time of ~30 ms and good reproducibility over 1000 cycles of pressure loading and unloading tests illustrate the high performance of the proposed device. Our pressure sensor exhibits a superior minimal limit of detection of 0.6 Pa, which shows promising potential in detecting human physiological signals such as heart rate. Moreover, it can be turned into an 8 × 8 pixels array to map spatial pressure distribution and realize array sensing imaging.
