Preparation of Non-Enzymatic Glucose Sensing Nanocomposite Based on NiCo₂O₄ Nanosheets@ Reduced Graphene Oxide and Design of Glucose Detection System

Abstract:

A non-enzymatic glucose sensing nanomaterial which consists of the NiCo₂O₄ nanosheets grown on reduced graphene oxide (NiCo₂O₄@rGO) is synthesized by a simple co-precipitation procedure. Firstly, the morphology and composition of the NiCo₂O₄@rGO are analyzed. Subsequently, the glucose sensing characteristics of the NiCo₂O₄@rGO are researched by Cyclic Voltammetry and Amperometry. The test results show that the prepared NiCo₂O₄@rGO has excellent glucose sensing properties. In the two linear detection range of 0.01mM-5.50mM and 5.50mM-15.50mM, the sensitivity reaches 4372.9μA·mM^-1cm^-2 and 1686.1μA·mM^-1cm^-2, respectively. In addition, in order to reduce the cost of electrochemical testing and improve the convenience and practicability of detection, a portable potentiostatic glucose detection system based on three electrodes is designed. Through testing, it is found that the non-enzymatic glucose detection system based on NiCo₂O₄@rGO has good practical application potential in the field of glucose detection.
