“…Even though this review aimed at focusing on the application of nickel selenide in environmental applications, a few publications have been reported where this material is applied in glucose sensing. Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide [51]. It is a condition where the body can no longer regulate the amount of glucose in the blood due to the malfunctioning of the pancreas [51,113].…”

“…Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide [51]. It is a condition where the body can no longer regulate the amount of glucose in the blood due to the malfunctioning of the pancreas [51,113]. Therefore, it is of great importance to construct electrochemical sensors that are highly sensitive, promote fast electron transfer, and can detect analytes at a low detection limit.…”

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting materials with diameters ranging from 2-10 nm. Amongst these QDs, nickel selenide quantum dot (NiSeQD) materials have gained much interest from researchers over the past few years due to their outstanding properties. These include excellent catalytic activity, good electrical conductivity for charge transfer, and excellent thermodynamic stability. NiSeQD material is relatively cheap, less toxic, and can be synthesised easily. Due to the fascinating and remarkable properties of NiSeQD, the material has been applied in various electrochemical fields, including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and solar cells. This review focuses on the application of NiSeQD and its composites in the various analytical fields in the search for alternative renewable sources of energy. Interestingly, NiSeQD material can be modified with different materials to improve its sensitivity, reactivity, and limit of detection. The effects of modification with other materials such as iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and graphene (GN) are mentioned. Additionally, the application of NiSeQD in glucose sensing is discussed briefly. In these aforementioned applications, NiSeQD has shown excellent electrocatalytic capability with satisfactory detection limits and good conductivity. Thus, further exploration of it to other fields is essential. This review highlights the importance of NiSeQD in water purification, and no report has been documented in the literature on its application in water purification. Some gaps are still open for the use of NiSeQD material as an electroactive platform for sensing devices in water treatment.

“…In particular, the zero bandgap and intrinsic electrical conductivity (Swesi et al, 2017) of NiSe 2 structure make it a potential candidate for excellent electron transfer-assisted sensing applications. NiSe 2 has been synthesized using various methods such as direct stoichiometric process (Anantharaj et al, 2019), precipitation (Mani et al, 2017), thermal decomposition, and hydrothermal (Veeralingam et al, 2019a), and solvothermal reactions (Yu et al, 2017). However, precipitation technique requires intermittent processing steps due to slow diffusion and insolubility of Se atoms.…”

Here we report a low-cost, flexible amperometric sensing platform for highly selective and sensitive detection of carbamazepine (CBZ) in human sweat samples. Detailed morphological characterization of the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide NiSe 2 , synthesized using one-step hydrothermal method, confirms the formation of dense NiSe 2 nanoclusters in the range of 500-650 nm, whereas X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies reveal a stable and pure cubic crystalline phase of NiSe 2. The sensor device is fabricated by uniformly depositing an optimized weight percentage of as-synthesized NiSe 2 onto flexible and biocompatible polyimide substrate using spin coating, and metal contacts are established using thermal evaporation technique. The sensor exhibits a remarkable sensitivity of 65.65 µA/nM over a wide linear range of 50 nM to 10 µM CBZ concentrations and a low limit of detection of 18.2 nM. The sensing mechanism and excellent response of NiSe 2 toward CBZ can be attributed to the highly conductive metallic NiSe 2 , large electroactive surface area of its nanoclusters, and highly interactive Ni 2+ /Ni 3+ oxidation states. Furthermore, the presence of 10-fold excess of capable interferents, such as lactic acid, glucose, uric acid, and ascorbic acid, does not affect the accurate determination of CBZ, thus demonstrating excellent selectivity. The real-time detection of CBZ is evaluated in human sweat samples using standard addition method, which yields reliable results. Furthermore, the sensor shows excellent robustness when subject to bending cycles and fast response time of 2 s. The strategy outlined here is useful in developing sensing platforms at low potential without the use of enzymes or redox binders for applications in healthcare.

Ultrasensitive and Highly Selective Ni₃Te₂as a Nonenzymatic Glucose Sensor at Extremely Low Working Potential

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Developing Nonenzymatic glucose biosensors has recently been at the center of attention owing to their potential application in implantable and continuous glucose monitoring systems. In this article, nickel telluride nanostructure with the generic formula of Ni 3 Te 2 has been reported as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation, functional at a low operating potential. Ni 3 Te 2 nanostructures were prepared by two synthesis methods, direct electrodeposition on the electrode and hydrothermal method. The electrodeposited Ni 3 Te 2 exhibited a wide linear range of response corresponding to glucose oxidation exhibiting a high sensitivity of 41.615 mA cm –2 mM –1 and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.43 μM. The hydrothermally synthesized Ni 3 Te 2 , on the other hand, also exhibits an ultrahigh sensitivity of 35.213 mA cm –2 mM –1 and an LOD of 0.38 μM. The observation of high efficiency for glucose oxidation for both Ni 3 Te 2 electrodes irrespective of the synthesis method further confirms the enhanced intrinsic property of the material toward glucose oxidation. In addition to high sensitivity and low LOD, Ni 3 Te 2 electrocatalyst also has good selectivity and long-term stability in a 0.1 M KOH solution. Since it is operative at a low applied potential of 0.35 V vs Ag|AgCl, interference from other electrochemically active species is reduced, thus increasing the accuracy of this sensor.
