| Abstract | ||||
| Determination of glucose is of enormous importance in the fields of biological, environmental and clinical analyses. In recent years, polymer modified metal oxides arrived a great consideration in the detection of glucose. In this study, we have developed a sensitive and selective non-enzymatic glucose sensor by using CuO NMO encapsulation with PEG (poly ethyleneglycol) nanocomposites. The loading content of PEG was incorporated with CuO by weight percentage (wt = 2, 4 & 6%). The fabricated CuO/PEG nanocomposites was utilized as a glucose sensor, it exhibit the tremendous electrocatalytic performances on oxidation of glucose. The electrocatalytic activity enhances with increasing the loading of PEG content. The sensor shows a low detection limit of 0.25 µM with a sensitivity of 113.8 µA mM-1 cm-2, good selectivity and stability. The CuO/PEG nanocomposites are hopeful for the advancement of cost-effective non-enzymatic glucose biosensors. | ||||
