Abstract

The non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor has the advantages of fast response and high sensitivity. In this study, the NiMoO4·xH2O nanowires were quickly grown in situ on the carbon cloth substrate (NiMoO4·xH2O NW/CC) in one step by using the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) micro-plasma method. With the benefits of the open network of 3D binary metal oxide NiMoO4 nanowire self-supporting electrode, large specific surface area, many active sites and the synergistic effect of Ni and Mo, NiMoO4·xH2O NW/CC show excellent electrocatalytic sensing performance for glucose with a high sensitivity of 4510 μA mM−1 cm−2, and a low detection limit of 63 nM (S/N = 3). There is also good selectivity, stability and practical application prospects. It has been shown that the modified DBD micro-plasma method has the advantages of being low in cost, simple and fast, green and environmentally friendly, and therefore it has good application prospects in the preparation of electrochemical sensing materials.
