▎ 摘  要

The article describes an amperometric sensor for enzyme-less detection of glucose based on homogeneously anchored Pd nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) on graphene - wrapped carbon nanotubes (Pd-GWCNTs) as sensing matrix. The unique features of GWCNTs (such as the highly protruded outer graphene layer and an inner tubular morphology) result in enhanced electrochemical performance compared to the use of conventional multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Glucose electro-oxidation occurs at a rather low working potential (+50 mV vs Ag/AgCl), and glucose can be continuously sensed in 0.1 M NaOH solution in concentrations of up to 19.5 mM. The sensor possesses good reproducibility, a fast response time, stable amperometric response and a lower detection limit. Due to its low working potential, it is not interfered by dopamine, uric acid, ascorbic acid, sucrose, fructose and lactose. We presume that these beneficial properties are a result of the synergetic advantages of using catalytic Pd NPs and graphene wrapped CNTs, both of which facilitate low-potential electrooxidation of glucose.
