Design of an amperometric glucose oxidase biosensor with added protective and adhesion layers

Mikrochim Acta. 2021 Aug 29;188(9):312. doi: 10.1007/s00604-021-04977-w.

Abstract

Enzymes have demonstrated great potential in the development of advanced electroanalysis devices due to their unique recognition and catalytic properties. However, unsatisfactory stability and limited electron communication of traditional enzyme sensors seriously hinder their large-scale application. In this work, a simple and effective method is proposed to improve the stability of enzyme sensors by using sodium hyaluronate (SH) as a protective film, MXene-Ti3C2/Glucose oxidase (GOD) as the reaction layer, and chitosan (CS) /reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the adhesion layer. Results demonstrate that the repeatability of the designed sensor increased by 73.3% after improving the adhesion between the reaction layer and the current collector and that its response ability was greatly enhanced. Moreover, the long-term stability of the electrode surface with SH protective film proved to be superior than that without protective film, which suggests that this design can effectively improve the overall performance of the enzyme biosensor. This work proposed a multi-tier synergistic approach for improving the reliability of enzyme sensors. Graphical abstract Our proposed protective and adhesion layer can greatly improve the stability of enzyme sensor and realize the rapid detection of glucose in serum sample.
