MOF-derived NiCo hydroxide for highly efficient non-enzymatic glucose biosensing

An efficient and robust electrocatalyst is significant for glucose biosensing. The emergence of metal-organic framework (MOF) derived materials opens up new avenues for the development of high-performance glucose sensing catalysts. Herein, MOF derived nickel-cobalt hydroxide supported on conductive copper sheet (NiCo-OH/Cu sheet) is prepared at room temperature. The as-obtained NiCo-OH is endowed with three-dimensional network structure which enables the effective exposure of active materials, sufficient contact between glucose molecule and catalyst. The NiCo-OH/Cu sheet is revealed as good glucose electrochemical sensing material with a wide linear range of 0.05∼6.0 mM and a high sensitivity of 1340μA mM^-1cm^-2. Additionally, the as-fabricated NiCo-OH/Cu sheet displays good anti-interference ability and long-term stability.
