Presented in this work is the first step towards an enzymeless/mediatorless glucose sensor. We first observed remarkable electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose using combinative ruthenium oxide (RuOx)-Prussian blue (PB) analogues (designated as mvRuOx-RuCN, mv: mixed valent) at ca. 1.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in acidic media (pH 2 Na 2 SO 4 / H 2 SO 4 ). Individual RuOx and PB analogs failed to give any such catalytic response. A high ruthenium oxidation state (i.e., oxy/hydroxy-Ru VII , E8 % 1.4 V vs. RHE), normally occurring in strong alkaline conditions at RuOx-based electrodes, was electrogenerated and stabilized (without any conventional disproportionation reaction) in the mvRuOx-RuCN matrix for glucose catalysis. Detail X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies can fully support the observation. The catalyst was chemically modified onto a disposable screen-printed carbon electrode and employed for the amperometric detection of glucose via flow injection analysis (FIA). This system has a linear detection range of 0.3 -20 mM with a detection limit and sensitivity of 40 mM (S/N ¼ 3) and 6.2 mA/(mM cm 2 ), respectively, for glucose. Further steps towards the elimination of interference and the extendibility to neutral pHs were addressed.
