Growth of Ni-Co-S Nanoflakes on Ni Bowl-Like Micro/Nano Array as a Non-Enzymatic Electrode for Detection of Glucose

Abstract:

A new synthetic procedure to Metal/metal sulfide hierarchical pore array composites was described. That is, a layer of Ni-Co-S nanoflakes was in situ constructed on the Ni ordered bowl-like micro/nanoarrays through a two-step electrodeposition method with the assistance of a colloidal sphere template. Such as-grown hierarchical composites could increase the specific surface areas and provide more active sites for electrocatalytic reactions. It exhibited a high catalytic activity to glucose, with a high sensitivity of 1210.1 μM‧mM^-1cm^-2 and a wide linear range from 0.5 μM to 2.0 mM. This work provides another candidate material for the development of planar non-enzymatic glucose sensors.
