Abstract

Carbon supported PtAu based bimetallic nanomaterials were synthesized, heat treated (450°C, 2 hrs) and characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Cyclic voltammetry was employed in order to confirm the typical metallic electrochemical response of the materials and hydrodynamic amperometry was employed for direct glucose determination. The optimised nanocomposite material (Pt 1Au 3/C) exhibited excellent sensitive response (27.0 μA mM - 1cm -2, LoD 2.9 μM) towards glucose electro-oxidation, over the range 0-10 mM at E app = 0.35 V vs Ag/AgCl under neutral conditions (pH 7.4). Overall, the materials demonstrated sensitive and reproducible responses, while eliminating the pH, temperature and lifetime issues associated with enzyme based electrodes and are of great promise in the quantification of glucose in real analysis.
