An Electrochemical Nickel-Cobalt (Ni-Co)/Graphene Oxide-Polyvinyl Alcohol (GO-PVA) Sensor for Glucose Detection.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to develop a non-enzymatic sensor for glucose detection in the presence of insulin, using a graphene oxide-polyvinyl alcohol composite film and nickel-cobalt catalyst.
Results Summary
The sensor demonstrated a linear relationship between measured current and glucose or insulin concentrations within specified ranges (2-10 mM for glucose, 0.1-1 mM for insulin), with a detection limit of 0.01 mM for insulin. The graphene oxide-polyvinyl alcohol composite improved sensing performance, and the nickel-cobalt layer acted as a catalyst.

This paper presents a non-enzymatic sensor for glucose detection in an environment where glucose and insulin coexist. The sensor is based on a three-electrode chip fabricated by etching the copper foil of a printed circuit board. The working electrode is coated with a graphene oxide-polyvinyl alcohol composite film, followed by the electroplating of a nickel-cobalt layer and an additional surface treatment using O2 plasma. The experimental results indicate that within a glucose concentration of 2 mM to 10 mM and an insulin concentration of 0.1 mM to 1 mM, the measured current exhibits a linear relationship with the concentration of glucose or insulin, regardless of whether cyclic voltammetry or linear sweep voltammetry is used. However, the detection limit for insulin is 0.01 mM, ensuring that glucose detection remains unaffected by insulin interference. In this sensor, nickel-cobalt serves as a catalyst for glucose and insulin detection, while the graphene oxide-polyvinyl alcohol composite enhances sensing performance.
