Fabrication of a nonenzymatic glucose sensor using Pd-nanoparticles decorated ionic liquid derived fibrillated mesoporous carbon.

A novel nonenzymatic sensor was developed for glucose detection by the use of ionic liquid derived fibrillated mesoporous carbon (IFMC) decorated with palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs). PdNPs were uniformly decorated on IFMC and then the prepared nano-hybrid material (Pd@IFMC) was drop cast on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode to fabricate a glucose sensor. The prepared Pd@IFMC showed excellent electrocatalytic activity towards glucose oxidation.
