A novel sensor was fabricated by electrochemical deposition of ZnO flower-like/polyaniline nanofiber/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite (ZnO/PANI/RGO) on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for direct detection of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) in the presence of fixed concentration of ascorbic acid (AA). Surface morphology and characterization of the modified electrodes were confirmed by field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and FT-IR spectroscopies. For individual detection, the linear responses were in the two concentration ranges of 0.001–1 μM and 1–1000 μM with detection limit 0.8 nM (S/N = 3) for DA, and also 0.1–100 μM and 100–1000 μM with detection limit 0.042 μM (S/N = 3) for UA. Simultaneous determination of these species in their mixture solution showed the linear responses in the two concentration ranges of 0.1–90 μM and 90–1000 μM with detection limit 0.017 μM (S/N = 3) for DA and also showed two linear range of 0.5–90 μM and 100–1000 μM with detection limit 0.12 μM (S/N = 3) for UA, with coexistence of 1000 μM AA. The applicability of sensor for the analysis of DA, and UA in dopamine injection solution, human serum and human urine samples was successfully demonstrated.

ZnO–CuxO/polypyrrole nanocomposite modified electrode for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid,dopamine, and uric acid

Novel zinc oxide (ZnO) nanosheets and copper oxide (Cu_xO, CuO, and Cu₂O) decorated polypyrrole (PPy) nanofibers (ZnO–Cu_xO–PPy) have been successfully fabricated for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA). The morphology and structure of ZnO–Cu_xO–PPy nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy. Compared with the bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE), PPy/GCE, Cu_xO–PPy/GCE, and ZnO–PPy/GCE, ZnO–Cu_xO–PPy/GCE exhibits much higher electrocatalytic activities toward the oxidation of AA, DA, and UA with increasing peak currents and decreasing oxidation overpotentials. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) results show that AA, DA, and UA could be detected selectively and sensitively at ZnO–Cu_xO–PPy/GCE with peak-to-peak separation of 150 and 154 mV for AA–DA and DA–UA, respectively. The calibration curves for AA, DA, and UA were obtained in the ranges of 0.2 to 1.0 mM, 0.1 to 130.0 μM, and 0.5 to 70.0 μM, respectively. The lowest detection limits (signal/noise = 3) were 25.0, 0.04, and 0.2 μM for AA, DA, and UA, respectively. With good selectivity and sensitivity, the current method was applied to the determination of DA in injectable medicine and UA in urine samples.     

Nano nickel oxide modified non-enzymatic glucose sensors with enhanced sensitivity through an electrochemical process strategy at high potential

Development of fast and sensitive sensors for glucose determination is important in food industry, clinic diagnostics, biotechnology and many other areas. In these years, considerable attention has been paid to develop non-enzymatic electrodes to solve the disadvantages of the enzyme-modified electrodes, such as instability, high cost, complicated immobilization procedure and critical operating situation et al. Nano nickel oxide (NiO) modified non-enzymatic glucose sensors with enhanced sensitivity were investigated. Potential scanning nano NiO modified carbon paste electrodes up to high potential in alkaline solution greatly increases the amount of redox couple Ni(OH)(2)/NiOOH derived from NiO, and thus improves their electrochemical properties and electrocatalytical performance toward the oxidation of glucose. The non-enzymatic sensors response quickly to glucose and the response time is less than 5s, demonstrating excellent electrocatalytical activity and assay performance. The calibration plot is linear over the wide concentration range of 1-110 μM with a sensitivity of 43.9 nA/μM and a correlation coefficient of 0.998. The detection limit of the electrode was found to be 0.16 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The proposed non-enzymatic sensors can be used for the assay of glucose in real sample.     

Highly sensitive and selective uric acid biosensor based on a three-dimensional graphene foam/indium tin oxide glass electrode

A three-dimensional (3D) continuous and interconnected network graphene foam (GF) was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition using nickel foam as a template. The morphologies of the GF were observed by scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were used to investigate the structure of GF. The graphene with few layers and defect free was closely coated on the backbone of the 3D nickel foam. After etching nickel, the GF was transferred onto indium tin oxide (ITO) glass, which acted as an electrode to detect uric acid using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The GF/ITO electrode showed a high sensitivity for the detection of uric acid: approximately 9.44 mA mM⁻¹ in the range of 25 nM–0.1 μM and 1.85 mA mM⁻¹ in the range of 0.1–60 μM. The limit of detection of GF/ITO electrode for uric acid is 3 nM. The GF/ITO electrode also showed a high selectivity for the detection of uric acid in the presence of ascorbic acid. This electrode will have a wide range of potential application prospects in electrochemical detection.

Cytochrome c was immobilized covalently onto nickel oxide nanoparticles/carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes/polyaniline composite (NiO-NPs/cMWCNT/PANI) electrodeposited on gold (Au) electrode. An amperometric H₂O₂ biosensor was constructed by connecting this modified Au electrode along Ag/AgCl as reference and Pt wire as counter electrode to the galvanostat. The modified Au electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). Cyclic voltammetric (CV) studies of the electrode at different stages demonstrated that the modified Au electrode had enhanced electrochemical oxidation of H₂O₂, which offered a number of attractive features to develop an amperometric biosensor based on split of H₂O₂. There was a good linear relationship between the current (mA) and H₂O₂ concentration in the range 3–700 μM. The sensor had a detection limit of 0.2 μM (S/N = 3) with a high sensitivity of 3.3 mA μM^?1 cm^?2. The sensor gave accurate and satisfactory results, when employed for determination of H₂O₂ in different fruit juices.     

Development of a disposable glucose biosensor using electroless-plated Au/Ni/copper low electrical resistance electrodes

This paper presents a glucose biosensor, which was developed using a Au/Ni/copper electrode. Until now, research regarding the low electrical resistance and uniformity of this biosensor electrode has not been conducted. Glucose oxidase (GOD) immobilized on the electrode effectively plays the role of an electron shuttle, and allows glucose to be detected at 0.055 V with a dramatically reduced resistance to easily oxidizable constituents. The Au/Ni/copper electrode has a low electrical resistance, which is less than 0.01 Ω, and it may be possible to mass produce the biosensor electrode with a uniform electrical resistance. The low electrical resistance has the advantage in that the redox peak occurs at a low applied potential. Using a low operating potential (0.055 V), the GOD/Au/Ni/copper structure creates a good sensitivity to detect glucose, and efficiently excludes interferences from common coexisting substances. The GOD/Au/Ni/copper sensor exhibits a relatively short response time (about 3 s), and a sensitivity of 0.85 μA mM⁻¹ with a linear range of buffer to 33 mM of glucose. The sensor has excellent reproducibility with a correlation coefficient of 0.9989 (n = 100 times) and a total non-linearity error of 3.17%.     

A novel NiO-Au hybrid nanobelts based sensor for sensitive and selective glucose detection

A novel amperometric nonenzymatic glucose sensor based on Au-doped NiO nanobelts has been successfully fabricated and applied to nonenzymatic glucose detection. Its electrochemical behavior towards the oxidation of glucose was compared with NiO nanofibers and Au microparticles prepared with a similar procedure. The NiO-Au hybrid nanobelts modified electrode displays greatly enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards glucose oxidation, revealing a synergistic effect between the matrix NiO and the doped Au. The as-prepared NiO-Au nanobelts based glucose sensor displays significantly lower onset potential, lower detection limit, higher sensitivity, and wider linear range than that of pristine NiO nanofibers modified electrode. Moreover, Au nanoparticles distributed in NiO nanofibers enabled amperometric glucose detection with insignificant interference from ascorbic acid and uric acid. These results indicate that the NiO-Au hybrid nanobelt is a promising candidate in the development of highly sensitive and selective nonenzymatic glucose sensors.     

A novel non-enzymatic ECL sensor for glucose using palladium nanoparticles supported on functional carbon nanotubes

A novel non-enzymatic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs)–functional carbon nanotubes (FCNTs) was discovered for glucose detection. PdNPs were homogeneously modified on FCNTs using a facile spontaneous redox reaction method. Their morphologies were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Based on ECL experimental results, the PdNPs–FCNTs–Nafion film modified electrode displayed high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of glucose. The free radicals generated by the glucose oxidation reacted with the luminol anion (LH⁻), and enhanced the ECL signal. Under the optimized conditions, the linear response of ECL intensity to glucose concentration was valid in the range from 0.5 to 40 μmol L⁻¹ (r² = 0.9974) with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.09 μmol L⁻¹. In addition, the modified electrode presented high resistance towards the poisoning of chloride ion, high selectivity and long-term stability. In order to verify the sensor reliability, it was applied to the determination of glucose in glucose injection samples. The results indicated that the proposed approach provided a highly sensitive, more facile method with good reproducibility for glucose determination, promising the development of a non-enzymatic ECL glucose sensor.     

Immobilization of glucose oxidase on electrodeposited nickel oxide nanoparticles: direct electron transfer and electrocatalytic activity

For the first time glucose oxidase (GOx) was successfully co-deposited on nickel-oxide (NiO) nanoparticles at a glassy carbon electrode. In this paper we present a simple fabrication method of biosensor which can be easily operated without using any specific reagents. Cyclic voltammetry was used for electrodeposition of NiO nanoparticle and GOx immobilization. The direct electron transfer of immobilized GOx displays a pair of well defined and nearly reversible redox peaks with a formal potential (E(0')) of -0.420 V in pH 7 phosphate buffer solution and the response shows a surface controlled electrode process. The surface coverage and heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k(s)) of GOx immobilized on NiO film glassy carbon electrode are 9.45 x 10(-13)mol cm(-2) and 25.2+/-0.5s(-1), indicating the high enzyme loading ability of the NiO nanoparticles and great facilitation of the electron transfer between GOx and NiO nanoparticles. The biosensor shows excellent electrocatalytical response to the oxidation of glucose when ferrocenmethanol was used as an artificial redox mediator. Furthermore, the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant 2.7 mM, of GOx on the nickel oxide nanoparticles exhibits excellent bioelectrocatalytic activity of immobilized enzyme toward glucose oxidation. In addition, this glucose biosensor shows fast amperometric response (3s) with the sensitivity of 446.2nA/mM, detection limit of 24 microM and wide concentration range of 30 microM to 5mM. This biosensor also exhibits good stability, reproducibility and long life time.     

Detection of glucose using immobilized bienzyme on cyclic bisureas–gold nanoparticle conjugate

A highly sensitive electrochemical glucose sensor has been developed by the co-immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto a gold electrode modified with biocompatible cyclic bisureas–gold nanoparticle conjugate (CBU–AuNP). A self-assembled monolayer of mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) and CBU–AuNP was formed on the gold electrode through a layer-by-layer assembly. This modified electrode was used for immobilization of the enzymes GOx and HRP. Both the HRP and GOx retained their catalytic activity for an extended time, as indicated by the low value of Michaelis–Menten constant. Analytical performance of the sensor was examined in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility, lower detection limit, and stability. The developed sensor surface exhibited a limit of detection of 100 nM with a linear range of 100 nM to 1 mM. A high sensitivity of 217.5 μA mM⁻¹ cm⁻² at a low potential of −0.3 V was obtained in this sensor design. Various kinetic parameters were calculated. The sensor was examined for its practical clinical application by estimating glucose in human blood sample.     

Effects of different sources of copper on Ctr1, ATP7A,ATP7B,MT and DMT1 protein and gene expression in Caco-2 cells

Copper sulfate (CuSO₄), micron copper oxide (micron CuO) and nano copper oxide (nano CuO) at different concentrations were, respectively, added to culture media containing Caco-2 cells and their effects on Ctr1, ATP7A/7B, MT and DMT1 gene expression and protein expression were investigated and compared. The results showed that nano CuO promoted mRNA expression of Ctr1 in Caco-2 cells, and the difference was significant compared with micron CuO and CuSO₄. Nano CuO was more effective in promoting the expression of Ctr1 protein than CuSO₄ and micron CuO at the same concentration. Nano CuO at a concentration of 62.5 μM increased the mRNA expression levels of ATP7A and ATP7B, and the difference was significant compared with CuSO₄. The addition of CuSO₄ and nano CuO to the culture media promoted the expression of ATP7B proteins. CuSO₄ at a concentration of 125 μM increased the mRNA expression level of MT in Caco-2 cells, and the difference was significant compared with nano CuO and micron CuO. Nano CuO at a concentration of 62.5 μM inhibited the mRNA expression of DMT1, and the difference was significant compared with CuSO₄ and micron CuO. Thus, the effects of CuSO₄, micron CuO and nano CuO on the expression of copper transport proteins and the genes encoding these proteins differed considerably. Nano CuO has a different uptake and transport mechanism in Caco-2 cells to those of CuSO₄ and micron CuO.     

Enhanced electrochemiluminescence from reduced graphene oxide–CdTe quantum dots for highly selective determination of copper ion

An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on reduced graphene oxide–CdTe quantum dots (RGO–CdTe QDs) composites for detecting copper ion (Cu²⁺) was proposed. The ECL behaviours of the RGO–CdTe QD modified electrode were investigated with H₂O₂ as the co‐reactant. Quantitative detection of Cu²⁺ was realized as Cu²⁺ could effectively quench the ECL signal of the RGO–CdTe QDs. A wide linear range of 1.00 × 10^?14 to 1.00 × 10^?4 M (R = 0.9953) was obtained under optimized conditions, and a detection limit (S/N = 3) was achieved of as low as 3.33 × 10^?15 M. The proposed sensor also exhibited good stability and selectivity for the detection of copper ions. Finally, the analytical application of the proposed sensor was also evaluated using river water.

A polyphenol biosensor was fabricated using this enzyme electrode (laccase/AgNPs/cMWCNT/PANI/Au electrode) as the working electrode, Ag/AgCl as the reference electrode, and platinum (Pt) wire as the auxiliary electrode connected through a potentiostat. The biosensor showed optimal response at pH 5.5 (0.1 M acetate buffer) and 35 °C when operated at a scan rate of 50 mV s⁻¹. Linear range, response time, and detection limit were 0.1–500 μM, 6 s, and 0.1 μM, respectively. The sensor was employed for the determination of total phenolic content in tea, alcoholic beverages, and pharmaceutical formulations. The enzyme electrode was used 200 times over a period of 4 months when stored at 4 °C. The biosensor has an advantage over earlier enzyme sensors in that it has no leakage of enzyme during reuse and is unaffected by the external environment due to the protective PANI microenvironment.

The electrochemical characterization of CuCP–ZnO–SPCE exhibited the characteristic quasi-reversible redox peaks at the potential +0.06 V versus Ag/AgCl. This biosensor electrode showed a wide linear range of response over NO concentrations from 200 nM to 500 μM with a detection limit of 100 nM and sensitivity of 85.4 nA μM⁻¹. Furthermore, NO₂⁻ measurement showed linearity of 100 nM to 1 mM with a detection limit of 100 nM for NO₂⁻ and sensitivity of 96.4 nA μM⁻¹. Then, the concentration of NO₃⁻ was measured after its enzymatic conversion into NO₂⁻. Using this assay, the concentrations of NO, NO₂⁻, and NO₃⁻ present in human plasma samples before and after beetroot supplement were estimated using suitable membrane coated CuCP–ZnO–SPCE and validated with the standard Griess method.     

A nanocomposite/crude extract enzyme-based xanthine biosensor

A novel amperometric biosensor for xanthine was developed based on covalent immobilization of crude xanthine oxidase (XOD) extracted from bovine milk onto a hybrid nanocomposite film via glutaraldehyde. Toward the preparation of the film, a stable colloids solution of core–shell Fe₃O₄/polyaniline nanoparticles (PANI/Fe₃O₄ NPs) was dispersed in solution containing chitosan (CHT) and H₂PtCl₆ and electrodeposited over the surface of a carbon paste electrode (CPE) in one step. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometry, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used for characterization of the electrode surface.

The sensitivity of the biosensor was 13.58 μA μM⁻¹ cm⁻². The apparent Michaelis–Menten (K_m) value for xanthine was found to be 4.7 μM. The fabricated biosensor was successfully applied for measurement of fish and chicken meat freshness, which was in agreement with the standard method at the 95% confidence level.

Highly sensitive sensor for picomolar detection of insulin at physiological pH, using GC electrode modified with guanine and electrodeposited nickel oxide nanoparticles

The electrochemical behavior of insulin at glassy carbon (GC) electrode modified with nickel oxide nanoparticles and guanine was investigated. Cyclic voltammetry technique has been used for electrodeposition of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiOx) and immobilization of guanine on the surface GC electrode. In comparison to glassy carbon electrode modified with nickel oxide nanoparticles and bare GC electrode modified with adsorbed guanine, the guanine/nickel oxide nanoparticles/modified GC electrode exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the oxidation of insulin in physiological pH solutions at reduced overpotential. The modified electrode was applied for insulin detection using cyclic voltammetry or hydrodynamic amperometry techniques. It was found that the calibration curve was linear up to 4muM with a detection limit of 22pM and sensitivity of 100.9pA/pM under the optimized condition for hydrodynamic amperometry using a rotating disk modified electrode. In comparison to other electrochemical insulin sensors, this sensor shows many advantages such as simple preparation method without using any special electron transfer mediator or specific reagent, high sensitivity, excellent catalytic activity at physiological pH values, short response time, long-term stability and remarkable antifouling property toward insulin and its oxidation product. Additionally, it is promising for the monitoring of insulin in chromatographic effluents.

MWCNT-ruthenium oxide composite paste electrode as non-enzymatic glucose sensor

A non-enzymatic glucose sensor of multi-walled carbon nanotube-ruthenium oxide/composite paste electrode (MWCNT-RuO(2)/CPE) was developed. The electrode was characterized by using XRD, SEM, TEM and EIS. Meanwhile, cyclic voltammetry and amperometry were used to check on the performances of the MWCNT-RuO(2)/CPE towards glucose. The proposed electrode has displayed a synergistic effect of RuO(2) and MWCNT on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose in 3M NaOH. This was possible via the formation of transitions of two redox pairs, viz. Ru(VI)/Ru(IV) and Ru(VII)/Ru(VI). A linear range of 0.5-50mM glucose and a limit of detection of 33μM glucose (S/N=3) were observed. There was no significant interference observable from the traditional interferences, viz. ascorbic acid and uric acid. Indeed, results so obtained have indicated that the developed MWCNT-RuO(2)/CPE would pave the way for a better future to glucose sensor development as its fabrication was without the use of any enzyme.
