A sensitive enzyme-free electrochemical sensor composed of Co3O4/ CuO@MWCNTs nanocomposites for detection of L-lactic acid in sweat solutions
Materials Science and Engineering: B(2023)
Abstract
L-Lactate acid (L-LA) is an important organic biomolecule and exists in human sweat thus making direct detection by current techniques challenging. It is thus important to develop a non-enzymatic L-LA sensor with high sensitivity and low cost. Herein, multidimensional mutli-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposites (Co3O4/ CuO@MWCNTs NCs) incorporated with copper and cobalt oxide are prepared on nickel foam (NF, Surface area = 1 cm2) hydrothermally for L-LA detection. The Co3O4/CuO@MWCNTs NCs are analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Ultraviolet-visiblespectroscopy (UV-VIS). Experimental results show that as an enzyme-free L-LA sensor, the Co3O4/CuO@MWCNTs NCs constitute a simple and low-cost detector to monitor L-LA in human sweat and the materials which yield high sensitivity and selectivity have broad prospects in the medical and health fields.
