Abstract

Glucose nonenzymatic detection is of significance in the fields of biological, environmental, food monitoring, and clinical analysis. By employing mesoporous NiCo2O4 nanowires as electrochemical sensor, highly sensitive nonenzymatic detection of glucose has been realized. The NiCo2O4 nanowires were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method and subsequent thermal treatment. Their crystalline structures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and morphologies were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The porous characteristics and real surface areas of the synthesized NiCo2O4 were studied by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method. Electro-catalytic oxidation of glucose on the NiCo2O4 electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and amperometry. The nonenzymatic sensor based on NiCo2O4 exhibited superior performance for glucose detection, with a low detection limit and excellent sensitivity.
