▎ 摘 要
The current diabetes management systems require collecting blood samples via an invasive and painful finger pricking leading to the formation of callus, scarring and loss of sensibility to patients due to continuous monitoring. Therefore, a non-invasive and painless method of determining glucose levels would be desirable to diabetes patients who need constant monitoring. Saliva glucose measurement is a non-invasive alternative for diabetes management. A highly sensitive, stable, and selective non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor that can accurately quantify saliva glucose is required. A single-walled carbon nanotube/reduced graphene oxide/cobalt phthalocyanines nanohybrid modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE-SWCNT/rGO/CoPc) has been fabricated for the non-enzymatic determination of glucose in human saliva. The SWCNT/rGO/CoPc was characterized using various spectroscopic, microscopic, and electrochemical techniques. The synergistic effect between SWCNT, rGO, and CoPc facilitated excellent electron transfer process that improved the sensor sensitivity. The GCE-SWCNT/ rGO/CoPc sensor exhibited two linear responses in the 0.30 mu M to 0.50 mM and 0.50-5.0 mM glucose concentration ranges, and the detection limit was 0.12 mu M. The sensor had an excellent saliva glucose detection sensitivity of 992.4 mu A.mM(-1).cm(-2) and high specificity for glucose in the presence of other coexisting analytes. In addition, it showed good storage stability, reusability, and a fast response time of about 1.2 s. The GCE-SWCNT/rGO/CoPc nanohybrid electrode showed excellent potential for developing accurate, non-invasive, and painless glucose sensing.
