It is essential to study the impact of anions happening the morphology of nanomaterials to prepare nanostructures with well-defined shape. This present work is based on the effect of anions (acetate, chloride, nitrate, and sulfate) on the morphology of nickel oxide nanostructures material synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The prepared composite material structures were studied by XRD, SEM), and TEM. The synthesized nanostructures were fabricated for the non-enzymatic glucose sensors. These sensors can be used for the non-enzymatic glucose sensors to take a fast amperometric response less time. The sensitivity for all four sensors of NiO grown using nickel acetate, nickel chloride, nickel nitrate, and nickel sulfate salts are in order of 212.71, 519, 419.57, and 79.28 μA/mM·cm2 respectively. The detection limits were estimated in the order of 0.1 to 1.0 μM. The NiO nanostructures grown with nickel chloride salt were found the most sensitive in this respect and subjected to evaluation of other competing species during glucose-sensing such as ascorbic acid, uric acid, and sucrose. The found best NiO nanomaterial remained positively used to quantify glucose levels in the blood serum of humans.

The detection of glucose is crucial in the management of diabetes and other medical conditions but also crucial in a wide range of industries such as food and beverages. The development of glucose sensors in the past century has allowed diabetic patients to effectively manage their disease and has saved lives. First-generation glucose sensors have considerable limitations in sensitivity and selectivity which has spurred the development of more advanced approaches for both the medical and industrial sectors. The wide range of application areas has resulted in a range of materials and fabrication techniques to produce novel glucose sensors that have higher sensitivity and selectivity, lower cost, and are simpler to use. A major focus has been on the development of enzymatic electrochemical sensors, typically using glucose oxidase. However, non-enzymatic approaches using direct electrochemistry of glucose on noble metals are now a viable approach in glucose biosensor design. This review discusses the mechanisms of electrochemical glucose sensing with a focus on the different generations of enzymatic-based sensors, their recent advances, and provides an overview of the next generation of non-enzymatic sensors. Advancements in manufacturing techniques and materials are key in propelling the field of glucose sensing, however, significant limitations remain which are highlighted in this review and requires addressing to obtain a more stable, sensitive, selective, cost efficient, and real-time glucose sensor.

Many low-dimensional nanostructured metal oxides (MOXs) with impressive room-temperature gas-sensing characteristics have been synthesized, yet transforming them into relatively robust bulk materials has been quite neglected. Pt-decorated SnO2 nanoparticles with 0.25–2.5 wt% Pt were prepared, and highly attractive room-temperature hydrogen-sensing characteristics were observed for them all through pressing them into pellets. Some pressed pellets were further sintered over a wide temperature range of 600–1200 °C. Though the room-temperature hydrogen-sensing characteristics were greatly degraded in many samples after sintering, those samples with 0.25 wt% Pt and sintered at 800 °C exhibited impressive room-temperature hydrogen-sensing characteristics comparable to those of their counterparts of as-pressed pellets. The variation of room-temperature hydrogen-sensing characteristics among the samples was explained by the facts that the connectivity between SnO2 grains increases with increasing sintering temperature, and Pt promotes oxidation of SnO2 at high temperatures. These results clearly demonstrate that some low-dimensional MOX nanocrystals can be successfully transformed into bulk MOXs with improved robustness and comparable room-temperature gas-sensing characteristics.
