▎ 摘  要

Developing wearable and noninvasive electrochemical devices for glucose monitoring is desirable for diabetes diagnostics and management. However, the adoptions are restricted by their poor reliability due to diluted glucose densities in commonly-used body fluids while lack of highly sensitive electrodes. Graphene fiber fabric, which is macroscopically paper-like and assembled by wet-fused graphene fibers, provides excellent electrical and mechanical properties as well as penetration paths for liquids, showing great potentials for electrochemical monitoring. Additionally, the graphene fiber fabric as a sensing patch provides excellent air-permeability which is necessary for wearing comfort but has rarely been addressed. As a result, the Prussian blue-decorated graphene fiber fabric exhibits a high electrochemical sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide (7298.7 mu A mM-1 cm-2). After being modified by glucose oxidase and chitosan, it delivers both high selectivity and electrochemical sensitivity to glucose (1539.53 mu A mM-1 cm-2 in the concentration range of 2-220 mu M, and 948.48 mu A mM-1 cm-2 in the concentration range of 220-650 mu M). We ascribe these performances to high-speed transfer paths for electrons and electrolytes in resultant electrodes. Additionally, the spontaneous absorption of body liquids by graphene fiber fabric after deposition of hydrophilic Prussian blue improves the utilization of active materials. Finally, the graphene fiber fabric used as a dry sensing patch was applied on human skin for the in vivo noninvasive glucose monitoring with the reverse iontophoresis (RI) technology, which showed good correlation to glucose levels measured by a commercial finger-prick glucometer.
