Enzyme-based biofuel cells (EBFCs) are systems that use a variety of organic compounds to produce electricity through oxido-reductase enzymes, such as oxidase or dehydrogenase as biocatalysts immobilized on electrodes. In this study, a single-chamber EBFC consisting of carbon electrodes that operating at ambient temperature in phosphate buffer, pH 7 is reported. The EBFC anode was based on gluc...

The monoolein-based liquid crystalline cubic phase was used as the matrix to incorporate redox enzymes--glucose (GOx), pyranose (PyOx) oxidases and laccase. Thin layer of the cubic phase embedding GOx or PyOx activated glucose oxidation in the presence and absence of appropriate mediators. The electrodes exhibited unchanged voltammetric response to glucose for not less than six days. The potent...

The addition to the carbon ink, a major component of a screen-printed electrode (SPE), of an aliquot (10%) of Prussian Blue (PB)-modified glassy carbon (PB-GC) particles, resulted in an interference free “ready to use” amperometric H2O2 sensor (Vapp = −50 mV) with a LOD of 3 × 10−7 mol/l and a sensitivity of 135 mA (mol l−1 cm2). A storage stability of up to 8 months and an operational stabilit...

Rapid and accurate detection of glucose is great significance for diabetic management. Highly sensitive sensors promise to achieve noninvasive technology, enabling more convenient efficient means large-scale screening long-term dynamic monitoring diabetes patients. In this work, we demonstrate a electrochemical biosensor through the synergetic labelling strategy utilizing PbS colloidal quantum ...

Diabetes is a widely spread chronic disease affecting about 463 million people in 2019. It defined as hyperglycemia caused by either an impaired action or abnormal secretion of insulin. New diabetes medications based on glucose-sensitive delivery systems can offer better control blood glucose levels without the need to worry patient diet frequency exercising. Such are comprised moieties such ox...

This article reports an amperometric glucose biosensor based on a new type of nanocomposite of polypyrrole (PPY) with p-phenyl sulfonate-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs-PhSO3-). An environmentally friendly functionalization procedure of the SWCNTs in the presence of substituted aniline and an oxidative species was adopted. The nanocomposite-modified electrode exhibited exc...

Amperometric glucose sensors were fabricated using glucose oxidase (GOx) entrapped in zirconium hydrogenphosphate (ZrP), and their performance was evaluated. Reportedly, alpha-ZrP is one of the candidates that are expected to improve the stability of enzymes immobilized on solid surfaces. We intercalated GOxs into ZrP (GOx/ZrP), cast the GOx/ZrP suspension in polyvinylalcohol on a platinum elec...

Based on electric conductivity and wide potential window of ionic liquid (IL) and electric property of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), composite material of IL-SWCNTs was prepared, glucose sensor was built with this material for immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOx). It showed good response, sensitivity and stability for long time for glucose detection. Linear range for the detection of glu...

Glutathione (L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-L-glycine; GSH) forms a surface monolayer on gold nanoparticles by tethering via sulfur bonds (Au:GSH). In the present study, glucose oxidase (GOx; EC 1.1.3.4) was immobilized by covalent chemical coupling reactions on to Au:GSH nanoparticles and the enzyme coupled nanoparticles formed a stable colloid (stable for several weeks) in water. The immobilize...

A typical glucose sensor is a oxidase (GOx) enzyme-based due to its high sensitivity and selectivity. However, it has difficulty activating stabilizing the enzyme. To enhance stability of GOx-based sensors, chitosan added ZnS-doped Mn nanoparticles. Chitosan stabilizes particles can induce charge processes such as creation, transfer, separation at polymer interface nanoparticles' interface. Hen...
