摘要
We report on the fabrication of an enzyme–free electrochemical sensor for glucose based on a printed film consisting of multi–walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The MWCNT–based film can be produced by means of a flexographic printing process on a polycarbonate (PC) substrate. The electrochemical response of the MWCNT–based film (referred to as MWCNT–PC) towards the oxidation of glucose at pH 7 was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The MWCNT–PC film exhibits substantial electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of glucose at an anodic potential of 0.30 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The findings reveal that the MWCNT–PC film enables non–enzymatic sensing of glucose with a detection limit as low as 2.16 μM and a sensitivity of 1045 μA∙mM−1∙cm−2.
