The development of micro glucose sensors plays a vital role in the management and monitoring of diabetes, facilitating real-time tracking of blood glucose levels. In this paper, we developed a three-layer core-sheath microwire (NW@CuO@Co3O4) with nickel wire as the core and copper oxide and cobalt oxide nanowires as the sheath. The unique core-sheath structure of microwire enables it to have both good conductivity and excellent electrochemical catalytic activity when used as an electrode for glucose detecting. The non-enzymatic glucose sensor base on a NW@CuO@Co3O4 core-sheath wire exhibits a high sensitivity of 4053.1 μA mM−1 cm−2, a low detection limit 0.89 μM, and a short response time of less than 2 s.

Electrochemical glucose sensors are vital for clinical diagnostics and the food industry, where accurate detection is essential. However, the limitations of glucose oxidase (GOx)-based sensors, such as complex preparation, high cost, and environmental sensitivity, highlight the need for non-enzymatic sensors that directly oxidize glucose at the electrode surface. In this study, a self-supporting hierarchical Cu/Fe3O4 nanosheet electrode was successfully fabricated by in situ growth on Ni Foam using a hydrothermal method, followed by annealing treatment. The Cu/Fe3O4 hierarchical nanosheet structure, with its large surface area, provides abundant active sites for electrocatalysis, while the strong interactions between Cu/Fe3O4 and Ni Foam enhance electron transfer efficiency. This novel electrode structure demonstrates exceptional electrochemical performance for non-enzymatic glucose sensing, with an ultrahigh sensitivity of 12.85 μA·μM−1·cm−2, a low detection limit of 0.71 μM, and a linear range extending up to 1 mM. Moreover, the Cu/Fe3O4/NF electrode exhibits excellent stability, a rapid response (~3 s), and good selectivity against interfering substances such as uric acid, ascorbic acid, H2O2, urea, and KCl. It also shows strong reliability in analyzing human serum samples. Therefore, Cu/Fe3O4/NF holds great promise as a non-enzymatic glucose sensor, and this work offers a valuable strategy for the design of advanced electrochemical electrodes. Full article
