Abstract Microelectrode glucose biosensor based on three-dimensional hybrid nanoporous platinum/graphene oxide nanostructure was developed for rapid glucose detection of tomato and cucumber fruits. The nanostructure was fabricated by a two-step modification method on microelectrode for loading a larger amount of glucose oxidase. The nanoporous structure was prepared on the surface of the platinum microelectrode by electrochemical etching, and then graphene oxide was deposited on the prepared nanoporous electrode by electrochemical deposition. The nanoprorous platinum/graphene oxide nanostructure had the advantage of improving the effective surface area of the electrode and the loading quantity of glucose oxidase. As a result, the biosensor achieved a wide range of 0.1-20.0 mM in glucose detection, which had the ability to accurately detect the glucose content. It was found that the three-dimensional hybrid nanostructure on the electrode surface realized the rapid direct electrochemistry of glucose oxidase. Therefore, the biosensor achieved high glucose detection sensitivity (11.64 μA mM -1cm -2), low detection limit (13 μM) and rapid response time (reaching 95% steady-state response within 3 seconds), when calibrating in glucose standard solution. In agricultural application, the as-prepared biosensor was employed to detect the glucose concentration of tomato and cucumber samples. The results showed that the relative deviation of this method was less than 5% when compared with that of HPLC, implying high accuracy of the presented biosensor in glucose detection in plants.

A biosensor is an integrated receptor-transducer device, which can convert a biological response into an electrical signal. The design and development of biosensors have taken a center stage for researchers or scientists in the recent decade owing to the wide range of biosensor applications, such as health care and disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring, water and food quality monitoring, and drug delivery. The main challenges involved in the biosensor progress are (i) the efficient capturing of biorecognition signals and the transformation of these signals into electrochemical, electrical, optical, gravimetric, or acoustic signals (transduction process), (ii) enhancing transducer performance i.e., increasing sensitivity, shorter response time, reproducibility, and low detection limits even to detect individual molecules, and (iii) miniaturization of the biosensing devices using micro-and nano-fabrication technologies. Those challenges can be met through the integration of sensing technology with nanomaterials, which range from zero- to three-dimensional, possessing a high surface-to-volume ratio, good conductivities, shock-bearing abilities, and color tunability. Nanomaterials (NMs) employed in the fabrication and nanobiosensors include nanoparticles (NPs) (high stability and high carrier capacity), nanowires (NWs) and nanorods (NRs) (capable of high detection sensitivity), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (large surface area, high electrical and thermal conductivity), and quantum dots (QDs) (color tunability). Furthermore, these nanomaterials can themselves act as transduction elements. This review summarizes the evolution of biosensors, the types of biosensors based on their receptors, transducers, and modern approaches employed in biosensors using nanomaterials such as NPs (e.g., noble metal NPs and metal oxide NPs), NWs, NRs, CNTs, QDs, and dendrimers and their recent advancement in biosensing technology with the expansion of nanotechnology.

The study reports a facile and eco-friendly approach for nanomaterial synthesis and enzyme immobilization. A corresponding glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and glucose oxidase (GOD) multilayer films onto the polypyrrole (PPy)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) via the electrodeposition and self-assembly. PPy and graphene oxide were first coated on the surface of a bare GCE by the electrodeposition. Then, AuNPs and GOD were alternately immobilized onto PPy-RGO/GCE electrode using the electrodeposition of AuNPs and self-assembly of GOD to obtain AuNPs-GOD multilayer films. The resulting PPy-RGO-(AuNPs-GOD)n/GCE biosensors were used to characterize and assess their electrocatalytic activity toward glucose using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The response current increased with the increased number of AuNPs-GOD layers, and the biosensor based on four layers of AuNPs-GOD showed the best performance. The PPy-RGO-(AuNPs-GOD)4/GCE electrode can detect glucose in a linear range from 0.2 mM to 8 mM with a good sensitivity of 0.89 μA/mM, and a detection limit of 5.6 μM (S/N = 3). This study presents a promising eco-friendly biosensor platform with advantages of electrodeposition and self-assembly, and would be helpful for the future design of more complex electrochemical detection systems.

The fabrication of a network of glucose oxidase-horseradish peroxidase/tin oxide (GOx-HRP/SnO2), immobilized onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and its utilization as a biosensor for glucose detection is reported. The network established with GOx-HRP/SnO2 possess high sensitivity and stability by performing the electrocatalytic features in the sensing of glucose. The turbidity of fabrication had been scanned and analyzed using UV-vis spectroscopy. The morphology and composition of the fabricated GOx-HRP/SnO2 networks were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cyclic voltammetry and amperometry were employed to study the electrochemical properties of the proposed biosensor. The effect of applied electrode potential and pH were systemically investigated. The biosensor responds to glucose at work potential values between −400 mV, and exhibited a lower detection limit (0.025 mM) and long linear range (0.25 to 7.0 mM), and was resistant to common interferences.
