A highly sensitive enzyme-less glucose sensor based on pnictogens and silver shell–gold core nanorod composites†
Abstract
Herein, we successfully incorporated pnictogen–Au@AgNR composites, produced by mixing shear exfoliated pnictogen nanosheets with silver shell, gold core nanorods (Au@AgNRs), as novel electrode materials towards the development of a non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensor. The findings of this study conceptually prove the feasibility of incorporating pnictogen-based composites for future development of electrochemical sensors.
