▎ 摘  要

A variety of nanomaterial-based biosensors have been developed to sensitively detect biomolecules in vitro, yet limited success has been achieved in real-time sensing in vivo. The application of microneedles (MN) may offer a solution for painless and minimally-invasive transdermal biosensing. However, integration of nanostructural materials on microneedle surface as transdermal electrodes remains challenging in applications. Here, a transdermal H2O2 electrochemical biosensor based on MNs integrated with nanohybrid consisting of reduced graphene oxide and Pt nanoparticles (Pt/rGO) is developed. The Pt/rGO significantly improves the detection sensitivity of the MN electrode, while the MNs are utilized as a painless transdermal tool to access the in vivo environment. The Pt/rGO nanostructures are protected by a water-soluble polymer layer to avoid mechanical destruction during the MN skin insertion process. The polymer layer can readily be dissolved by the interstitial fluid and exposes the Pt/rGO on MNs for biosensing in vivo. The applications of the Pt/rGO-integrated MNs for in situ and real-time sensing of H2O2 in vivo are demonstrated both on pigskin and living mice. This work offers a unique real-time transdermal biosensing system, which is a promising tool for sensing in vivo with high sensitivity but in a minimally-invasive manner.
