A new bifunctional nanomaterial, [SBCu(II)Hyd]-MWCNTs, exhibiting exotic electrical and magnetic properties has been synthesized via chemical modification of MWCNT-COOH. Double probe DC electrical conductivity, CV and EIS studies show better conductivity of the material than that of MWCNT-COOH. With higher saturation and remanent magnetization, as well as coercivity, [SBCu(II)Hyd]-MWCNTs showed better ferromagnetic characteristics. Mott–Schottky electrochemical analysis was carried out to explore capacitive and dielectric properties. The enhancement in electrical conductivity of [SBCu(II)Hyd]-MWCNTs is also confirmed by optical and electrochemical band gaps studies. Subsequently, this material has been utilized to fabricate an electrochemical sensor by coating it over glassy carbon electrode for the determination of glucose. The corresponding sensitivity and limit of detection values are calculated to be 1.1 µA µM⁻¹ cm⁻² and 0.09 µM, respectively. Graphical Abstract

Fe2O3 nanoparticles have interesting properties such as low production cost, chemical stability, biocompatibility, poor toxicity, and high conductivity. In this work, Fe2O3 nanoparticles are used as modifiers to combine their characteristics to those of carbon paste electrodes to enhance the determination of glucose. Differential pulse voltammetry was used as the quantitative analytical technique and then a Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the variables in order to maximize the glucose electro-oxidation response signal. The Fe2O3-NPs/CPE sensor showed excellent electro-catalytic performance toward glucose oxidation and three linear ranges: 0.015 µM – 1 µM (sensitivity of 51.54 µA/ µM), 1 µM – 100 ¬ µM (sensitivity of 4.21 µA/ µM) and, 30 µM – 700 µM (sensitivity of 0.041 µA/µM) and detection limit of 0.044 µM. The sensor also presented good reproducibility and repeatability, excellent selectivity (in the presence of ascorbic acid, uric acid, lactose, caffeine, and paracetamol), and satisfactory applicability for glucose detection in commercial electrolyte beverages and human urine samples. The improved electrochemical detection capability of Fe2O3-NPs/CPE is attributed to the formation of Fe4+=O reactive groups at alkaline pH that allowed the oxidization of glucose by a nonenzymatic mechanism.

Nano semiconductors have been recently explored for various electrochemical and optical sensors for remote and non-invasive measurement of biomolecules at lower concentrations. Sensitivity of detection in any technique is influenced by the sensing material employed for detection. Till date, there are no reports on the impact of semiconductor material type on the sensitivity of various glucose detection techniques. In light of these, present study aims to develop nano metal oxide and graphene–metal oxide nanocomposite based electrochemical and optical biosensors for glucose detection and demonstrate the significance of material selection for the two glucose detection techniques. Graphene oxide (GO) and metal oxide (MO:ZnO, CuO, NiO and Co3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized by modified Hummer’s method and solution combustion methods respectively, while Graphene–metal oxide nanocomposites (GO–MO) were synthesized by facile hydrothermal method. Morphology and structures of the prepared composite materials were characterised by Raman spectroscopy, XRD and SEM. Glucose sensing was analyzed using Fluorescence (FL) spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Fluorescence emission intensity increased linearly with increase in concentration of glucose for MO nanoparticles, while in case of GO–MO nanocomposites, the emission spectra showed insignificant variation. In case of cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements, GO–MO nanocomposite modified electrode exhibited excellent glucose sensing compared to MO nanoparticles modified electrode. While MO nanoparticles as glucose sensors were found to be ideal for PL technique, GO–MO nanocomposites were ideal sensing materials for CV technique. The present study thus demonstrates the importance of material selection for specific glucose detection techniques.

An ultrasensitive electrochemical glucose sensor was developed by hydrothermal growth of cobalt copper car-bonate hydroxide nanowires (CCCH NWs) on copper foam (CF) and surface in situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) derived cobalt oxide (Co 3 O 4) (Co 3 O 4 @CCCH NWs/CF). Benefitting from the large accessible surface area, the heterojunction between Co 3 O 4 and CCCH NWs, as well as the high electrical conductivity of copper foam, the electrochemical properties of Co 3 O 4 @CCCH NWs/CF sensor were significantly improved. As demonstration, we achieved an ultra-high sensitivity of 16.01 μA/μM/cm 2 , a wide linear range of 0.001 ~ 2.0 mM, and remarkable fast response-recovery times (1.5 s and 1.3 s) for emzymeless glucose detection based on the optimized sensor. Moreover, the fabricated Co 3 O 4 @CCCH NWs/CF sensor has a good reproduc-ibility, a long-term stability and anti-bending property for glucose detection. More interestingly, this sensor can be used to determine the glucose level of real serum samples, thereby providing a useful tool for enzymeless glucose monitoring.

The preparation of 3 kinds of carbonaceous nanocomposites by hydrothermal treatment and subsequent calcination described. The first comprises a nanomaterial of type CuO/g-C3N4, with g-C3N4 in mass fractions of 2, 5 and 7 wt%, respectively. The second comprises CuO/porous carbon (5 wt%), and the third comprises CuO/carbon spheres (5 wt%). All of them were employed to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to obtain electrochemical sensors for glucose and dopamine. The GCE modified with CuO/g-C3N4 (5 wt%) displays the highest electrocatalytic activity towards glucose and dopamine. Figures of merit for sensing glucose (in 0.1 M NaOH solution) include a wide linear range (0.5 μM to 8.5 mM), a detection limit of 0.150 μM, and a sensitivity of 0.274 μA·μM⁻¹·cm⁻² (at a working potential of 0.60 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The respective data for dopamine (in pH 7.0 solution) are linear ranges from 0.2-16.0 μM and 16.0-78.7 μM, a lower detection limit of 60 nM, and an electrochemical sensitivity of 0.834 and 0.331 μA·μM⁻¹·cm⁻² (at a working potential of 0.22 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The good performance of the modified GCE is attributed to the synergetic interactions between CuO and the appropriate fraction of g-C3N4, and the improvement of conductivity.
