▎ 摘　　要

A nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensor was developed for the detection of glucose based on an electrode modified with palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs)-functioned graphene (nafion-graphene). The palladium nanoparticle-graphene nanohybrids were synthesized using an in situ reduction process. Nafion-graphene was first assembled onto an electrode to chemically adsorb Pd2+. And Pd2+ was subsequently reduced by hydrazine hydrate to form PdNPs in situ. Such a PdNPs-graphene nanohybrids-based electrode shows a very high electrochemical activity for electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose in alkaline medium. The proposed biosensor can be applied to the quantification of glucose with a wide linear range covering from 10 mu M to 5 mM (R = 0.998) with a low detection limit of 1 mu M. The experiment results also showed that the sensor exhibits good reproducibility and long-term stability, as well as high selectivity with no interference from other potential competing species.
