Abstract

Designing a rapid and sensitive glucose detection method is of great significance to public health. Herein, hollow CuMn-PBA@NiCo-LDH nanoboxes (CuMn-PBA@NiCo-LDH NBs) were prepared using acid etching, cation exchange, and reflux method. The modified electrode exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic performance for glucose oxidation due to the unique hollow nanostructure and synergistic effects. The CuMn-PBA@NiCo-LDH NBs electrode displayed excellent electrocatalytic oxidation activity for glucose in an alkaline solution. Under optimal conditions, the electrode achieved a wide linear range (0.0005-1 mmol L-1, and 1-7 mmol L-1) and high sensitivity (10,300 μA L/mmol cm-2 and 5310 μA L/mmol cm-2), with a limit of detection (LOD) of 19 nmol L-1. The feasibility of the sensor applied to the detection of glucose was verified in real food samples through spiked recovery experiments. This electrode material offers an alternative method for the non-enzymatic glucose sensors.
