Abstract:Bioanodes for fuel cell applications require highly efficient oxidation reactions to achieve a sufficiently large current density. In this study, gold nanoparticles have been synthesized using branched polyethylenimine (bPEI), a well‐known polymer that forms a hydrogel in water, as the stabilizer. Primary amine groups available in bPEI provide active sites for further conjugation with ferrocene propionic acid via the 1‐Ethyl‐3‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide coupling reaction, with the enzyme glucose oxida… Show more
“…[19]) a more consistent active surface, thus improve the catalytic efficiency and avoid loss [24]. For higher activity, on the one hand, increase the available covalent bonding sites by introducing some monomers rich in -NH 2 and -COOH via 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) by forming amide bonds between the amine groups and carboxyl groups [25][26][27][28][29] or glutaraldehyde via covalent attachment to amino-actived polymers [30][31][32][33][34]; on the other hand, increase the specific surface area using microcapsules as Fig. 2d [35] or microsphere as the GOx carrier, such as SiO 2 [36][37][38][39] and hydrogel microspheres (Fig.…”

Diabetes is a serious global disease that threatens more than 400 million people's health. Therefore, timely detection of body's glucose level becomes extremely important for control, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. Based on the feature of stimuli-responsive volume phase transition of hydrogel materials, this review will provide a systematic summary of glucose detection devices in recent years, including hydrogel preparation methods based on glucose-sensitive pattern, detection mechanisms based on signal transduction, current and emerging devices based on different body fluids and discuss the challenge, prospect the future development trend in the end.

The electrochemical oxidation of 6‐ferrocenylheptanoate was used to modify the surface of glassy carbon electrodes with thin films bearing ferrocene molecules. These films grow layer by layer and behave as surface redox catalyst during the electrografting. The electrografted films have a structure with pinholes or channels, whose existence was deduced from the redox behavior of the film in acetonitrile solution containing different supporting electrolytes and organic additives. The electron transport through this film requires the presence of the electrolyte anions in the film channels. However, the voltametric feature of the grafted films is sensitive to the electrolyte cation size. The supporting electrolyte anions inside the film channels stabilize the ferrocenium species during the film oxidation. However, the presence of the cations is required to keep the inner charge balance. The inclusion of both anions and cations inside the grafted film determines the surface coverage obtained from the voltammetric experiments.
RGO/Au/Ni electrode was manufactured by a convenient, controllable, and environmental process, which was carried out by cyclic voltammetry (CV), and in this process, graphene-gold nanohybrid materials were simultaneously deposited on the nickel foam. Then the GOx was immobilized on the RGO/Au/Ni electrode by covalent bonding, and obtained the enzymatic biosensor. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy were adopted to confirm the microstructure of the fabricated RGO/Au/Ni electrode. Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to characterize the prepared enzymatic electrode. CV, chronoamperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to characterize the electrochemical performance of the fabricated enzymatic biosensor. It is found that AuNPs were well dispersed on the wrinkled RGO sheets, and the biosensor had a high sensitivity to glucose (32.83 μA • mM À 1 • cm À 2 ) with a wide linear range (0.15�26.15 mM), the strengths of anti-interference ability, good stability, and repeatability, etc.
