A novel PEC sensor using Fe2TiO5 nanodisks has been developed for accurate detection of glucose in human blood serum, exhibiting a wide linear range, low limit of detection, and high sensitivity. This sensor has great potential for application in point-of-care clinical diagnosis.
A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor was constructed, using Fe2TiO5 nanodisks under visible-light irradiation, for the determination of glucose in human blood serum. The uniformly dispersed Fe2TiO5 nanodisks were synthesized for the first time by an ion exchange method and subsequent heat treatment. As excellent catalysts, the Fe2TiO5 nanodisks can directly catalyze the oxidation of glucose to produce current in the absence of glucose oxidase. Compared with commercial TiO2, the Fe2TiO5 nanodisks exhibit better activity in the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose and can generate a photocurrent as a signal for glucose detection. The PEC sensor shows a wide linear range (4 mu M-10 mM), a low limit of detection (0.588 mu M) and a super sensitivity of 2653 mu A mM(-1) cm(-2), which are much better than similar configurations reported previously. This PEC sensor has been successfully used to monitor glucose in human blood serum. Moreover, this PEC glucose sensor based on Fe2TiO5 nanodisks possesses great potential for application in point-of-care clinical diagnosis.
