Electrochemical glucose biosensor based on nickel oxide nanoparticle-modified carbon paste electrode

Abstract

In the present work, we designed an amperometric glucose biosensor based on nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs)-modified carbon paste electrode. The biosensor was prepared by incorporation of glucose oxidase and NiONPs into a carbon paste matrix. It showed good analytical performances such as high sensitivity (367 μA mmolL^–1) and a wide linear response from 1.9 × 10^–3 mmolL^–1 to 15.0 mmolL^–1 with a limit of detection (0.11 μmolL^–1). The biosensor was used for the determination of glucose in human serum samples. The results illustrate that NiONPs have enormous potential in the construction of biosensor for determination of glucose.
