In this study, an amperometric non-enzymatic glucose sensor was developed on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode by simply drop-casting the synthesized homogeneous suspension of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets with a copper metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) composite. Comprehensive analytical methods, including field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and amperometry, were used to investigate the surface and electrochemical characteristics of the h-BN-Cu-MOF composite. The FE-SEM, FT-IR, and XRD results showed that the h-BN-Cu-MOF composite was formed successfully and exhibited a good porous structure. The electrochemical results showed a sensor sensitivity of $18.1{\mu}A{\mu}M^{-1}cm^{-2}$ with a dynamic linearity range of $10-900{\mu}M$ glucose and a detection limit of $5.5{\mu}M$ glucose with a rapid turnaround time (less than 2 min). Additionally, the developed sensor exhibited satisfactory anti-interference ability against dopamine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, urea, and nitrate, and thus, can be applied to the design and development of non-enzymatic glucose sensors.

무효소 혈당센서는 높은 선택성과 민감성을 가지고 저비용으로 체내 혈당(glucose)을 검출할 수차세대 기술이다. 현재 시판되고 있는 혈당센서는 당을 산화시켜주는 당산화효소와 전극과 효소사이에 전자 전달을 원활하게 해주는 산화/환원 매개체를 이용하여 효소센서로 제작된다. 그러나 이러한 효소센서는 pH, 온도, 습도, 화학적 독성물질 등에 영향을 많이 받아 안정성이 떨어지고, 제작에 비용이 많이 드는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 위와 같은 단점을 해결하고자 환원제인 당에 의하여 환원되는 니켈 나노입자를 전기화학적 흡착방법을 이용하여 산화 인듐 주석 전극 (ITO)에 고정시켰다. 고정된 니켈 나노입자는 전극의 표면적을 넓혀 신호를 증폭시키는 효과를 가지고 있으며, 당에 의하여 계속적으로 니켈이 환원됨에 따라 전극 반응에서는 촉매산화전류 반응으로 나타낸다. 당의 농도에 따라서 선형적으로 감응 할 수 있는 최적 조건의 니켈 나노입자를 이용하여 혈당센서를 제작하였다. 또한 체내에 존재하는 방해 인자인 아스코브산의 간섭을 억제하기 위해 음이온 고분자의 표면처리를 통하여 상대적으로 당에 선택적으로 감응하도록 하였다. 제작된 전극을 통하여 당 농도 별 산화 촉매 전류를 순환 전압 전류 법으로 측정한 결과 650 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl)에서 최대 전기적 신호가 발생되었으며, 포도당 0~6.15 mM 의 농도범위에서 전기적 신호가 선형 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the common chronic diseases, seriously threating to human health. The continuous monitoring of blood glucose concentration can effectively prevent diabetic diseases. The sensing performance of glucose non-enzymatic sensors is mainly determined by working electrode materials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are recognized as promising candidate for glucose sensor application, due to its large surface areas, ordered porous structure and nearly infinite designability. In this review, the sensing performance, research progress and future challenge of non-enzymatic glucose sensors based on MOF-based materials in recent years are presented. We hope that this review would provide valuable technology guidance for high performance non-enzymatic glucose sensors based on MOFs.

Commercially available continuous glucose sensors require the operation stability for more than two weeks. Typically, the sensor comprises a sensing layer and an over-coating layer for the stable operation inside the body. In the sensing layer, enzymes and mediators are cross-linked together for the effective sensing of the glucose. The over-coating layer limits the flux of glucose and works as a biocompatible layer to the body fluids. Here, we report the simple preparation of the flux-limiting layer by the condensation of polyethyleneimine (PEI), tri-epoxide linker, and trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (PTGE). The sensor is constructed by a layer-by-layer drop-coating of the sensing layer containing glucose dehydrogenase and the PEI-derived blocking layer. It is stable for more than 14 days, which is enough for the sensor in the continuous monitor glucose monitoring (CGM) system.

In electrochemical glucose sensing, the enhancement of the sensitivity and the response time is essential in developing stable and reliable sensors, especially for continuous glucose monitoring. We developed a method to increase the sensitivity and to shorten the response time for the sensing upon the appropriate addition of single wall carbon nanotube onto the osmium polymer-based hydrogel electrode. Also, the background stabilization is dramatically enhanced.

The electrochemical sensing performance of metal-graphene hybrid based sensor may be significantly decreased due to the dissolution and aggregation of metal catalyst during operation. For the first time, we developed a novel large-area high quality three dimensional graphene foam-incorporated gold nanoparticles (3D-GF@Au) via chemical vapor deposition method and employed as free-standing electrocatalysis for non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose detection. 3D-GF@Au based sensor is capable to detect glucose with a wide linear detection range of $2.5{\mu}M$ to 11.6 mM, remarkable low detection limit of $1{\mu}M$, high selectivity, and good stability. This was resulted from enhanced electrochemical active sites and charge transfer possibility due to the stable and uniform distribution of Au NPs along with the enhanced interactions between Au and GF. The obtained results indicated that 3D-GF@Au hybrid can be expected as a high quality candidate for non-enzymatic glucose sensor application.

본 연구는 고성능 유연 전극 소재 개발을 위한 기초 연구로, 유연 전극 소재의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 금속 산화물 CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs)를 도입하여 탄소나노튜브 섬유(carbon nanotube fiber; CNT fiber) 표면 위에 전기화학적 증착시켜 CNT fiber/CuO NPs 전극을 합성하고, 이를 전기화학적 비효소 글루코스 센서에 적용하였다. 이 전극의 표면 및 elemental composition 분석은 주사전자 현미경(SEM)과 에너지분산형 분광분석법(EDS)을 이용하였으며, 전극의 전기화학적 특성 및 글루코스에 대한 센싱 성능은 순환전압 전류법(CV)과 전기화학 임피던스법(EIS), 시간대전류법(CA)을 통해 조사되었다. CNT fiber/CuO NPs 전극은 CNT fiber의 우수한 특성과 함께 CuO NPs 도입에 따른 약 2.6배의 유효 전극면적(active surface area) 증가 효과와 11배 정도의 향상된 전자전달(electron transfer) 특성 및 우수한 전기적 촉매 활성(electrocatalytic activity) 덕분에 CNT fiber 유연 기반 전극의 글루코스 검출에 대한 성능이 개선되었다. 따라서, 본 연구를 기반으로 다양한 나노구조체를 활용한 고성능 유연 전극 소재 개발이 기대된다.

In this paper, mesoporous Pt on micro pillars Pt electrode is newly designed, fabricated, and characterized on silicon substrate for non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor micro-chip integrated with CMOS readout circuitry. The fabricated micro/nano Pt electrode has cylindrical hexangular arrayed nano Pt pores with a diameter of 3.2 nm which is formed on top of the micro pillars Pt electrode with approximately $6{\mu}m$ in diameter, $6{\mu}m$ in space, and $50{\mu}m$ in height. The measured current responses of the fabricated plane Pt, mesoporous Pt, and mesoporous Pt on the micro pillar Pt electrodes are approximately $9.9nA/mm^2,\;6.72{\mu}A/mm^2,\;and\;7.67{\mu}A/mm^2$ in 10mM glucose solution with 0.1M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, respectively. In addition, the measured current responses of the fabricated plane Pt, mesoporous Pt, and mesoporous Pt on the micro pillar Pt electrodes are approximately $0.15{\mu}A/mm^2,\;0.56{\mu}A/mm^2,\;and\;0.74{\mu}A/mm^2$ in 0.1mM ascorbic acid (AA) solution with 0.1M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, respectively. This experimental results show that the proposed micro/nano Pt electrode is highly sensitive and promising for CMOS integrated non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor applications. Since the micro-pillar Pt electrode can also be utilized with a micro-fluidic mixer in the sensor chip, the sensor chip can be much smaller, cheaper, and easier to be fabricated.

This study reports the potential of using commercial copy papers as substrates for simple sensitive glucose detection. Typical paper-based devices use filter papers as porous substrates that can contain reagents; however, this is the first study to report the use of copy papers for the purpose of enhancing enzymatic colorimetric detection. Glucose detection using glucose oxidase, horseradish peroxidase and potassium iodide was performed on a copy paper, cellulose-based filter paper, and polyethylene film. The results indicated that the copy paper exhibited a stronger coloration than the other substrates. Reagents required for detection were dried on the copy paper, and a 3D-printed holder was designed to provide an environment for consistent imaging, making it a convenient cost-effective option for point-of-care testing using a mobile phone camera. The simple paper-based glucose sensor exhibited a linear range of 0.1-20 mM, limit of quantification of 0.477 mM, and limit of detection of 0.143 mM.

의료용 센서들은 대부분 일회용 제품으로, 검사·진단 비용을 줄이기 위해서는 저가의 전극 소재 개발이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 일회용 전기화학센서의 전극 소재로 pencil graphite를 도입하여 전처리 효과와 전도성 고분자 폴리아닐린(polyaniline; PANI) 및 금속 산화물 CuO NPs를 이용한 표면 개질(modification)을 통한 전기화학적 특성을 조사하고, 이를 글루코스 검출용 비효소 전기화학센서에 적용하였다. Pencil graphite electrode (PGE)의 표면 활성화를 위한 전처리는 화학적과 전기화학적으로 각각 진행되었으며, 전처리된 샘플들은 시간대전류법(CA)과 순환전압 전류법(CV), 전기화학 임피던스(EIS) 분석법을 이용한 전기화학적 특성 조사를 통해 최종적으로 전기화학적 전처리 방법을 채택하여 CuO NPs/PANI/E-PGE를 제작하였다. 이를 적용한 비효소적 글루코스 검출용 전기화학 센서는 0.282 ~2.112 mM과 3.75423~50 mM의 선형 구간에서 각각 239.18 mA/mM×cm²과 36.99 mA/mM×cm² 정도의 감도(sensitivity)와 17.6 μM의 검출 한계(detection limit), 글루코스에 대한 좋은 선택도(selectivity)를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 PGEs를 활용한 다양한 일회용 센서 응용과 저가의 고성능 전극 소재 개발 가능성을 확인하고, 더 많은 분야에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
