Abstract
CuO nanoparticles (NPs) based graphene oxide (CuO/GO) composites with different CuO NPs loading amount as well as pure CuO NPs with different hydrothermal temperatures were synthesized using a hydrothermal method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Raman spectroscopy were employed to characterize the morphology and structures of our samples. The influence of hydrothermal temperature, GO sheet, and loading amount of CuO on particle size and structure of CuO was systemically investigated. The nonenzymatic biosensing properties of CuO/GO composites and CuO NPs toward glucose were studied based on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The sensing properties of CuO NPs were improved after loading on GO sheets. The CuO/GO composites with saturated loading of the CuO NPs exhibited the best nonenzymatic biosensing behavior. It exhibited a sensitivity of 262.52 μA mM(-1) cm(-2) to glucose with a 0.69 μM detection limit (S/N = 3) and a linear range from 2.79 μM to 2.03 mM under a working potential of +0.7 V. It also showed outstanding long term stability, good reproducibility, excellent selectivity, and accurate measurement in real serum sample. It is believed that CuO/GO composites show good promise for further application on nonenzymatic glucose biosensors.
