Non-enzymatic glucose sensor based on Ni(OH)2/NF materials using different pulse voltammetry technique
Main Article Content
Abstract
Non-enzymatic glucose sensors have gained significant attention owing to their potential for accurate and cost-effective glucose detection. Nanomaterials play a pivotal role in enhancing performance of non-enzymatic glucose sensor. In this study, we introduce a novel non-enzymatic glucose sensor based on Ni(OH)2/NF (nickel hydroxide/nickel foam) materials using different pulse voltammetry technique. Chemical precipitation methods have been used to grow Ni(OH)2 nanostructures directly on a nickel foam electrode. The characterization of the synthesized materials was performed through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The performance of the Ni(OH)2/NF-based glucose sensor was evaluated through electrochemical measurements. Nanoscale hive-like structures of Ni(OH)2 with a diameter ranging from 450 to 530 μm and a thickness of 20 nm were formed on the NF surface. The sensor exhibited good performance, displaying a high sensitivity of 8.42 mA mM-1 cm-2 with a low detection limit of 0.84 μM. These results position the synthesized electrode as a promising contender for non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensors.
