Transfer-free CVD graphene for highly sensitive glucose sensors

摘要

Chemical vapor deposition(CVD)graphene film is a promising electrode-modifying material for fabricating high-performance glucose sensor due to its high electrical conductivity and two-dimensional structure over large area.However,the use of typical metal-based CVD graphene suffers from the residue contamination of polymer transfer-support and heavy metal ions.In this work,we directly grew fewlayer graphene on the SiO2/Si substrate without transfer process and then fabricated graphene-based glucose sensors by sequentially immobilizing glucose oxidase and depositing Nafion layer on its surface that was functionalized by oxygen-plasma treatment.Our transfer-and metal-free process shows distinct advantage over the common metal-CVD method in improving the electrochemical performance by eliminating the contamination of transfer-residue.Thus-obtained glucose sensor shows a high sensitivity(16.16μA mM-1cm-2)with a detection limit of 124.19μM.This method is simple and promising for the development of highly sensitive glucose sensors.
