Brewer's Spent Grain-Cellulose-Coated Copper Electrode-Based Extended Gate Field-Effect Transistor for Nonenzymatic Glucose Detection toward Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus.

The demand for environmentally friendly, reliable, and cost-effective electrodes for glucose sensor technology has become a major research area in the paradigm shift toward green electronics. In this regard, cellulose has emerged as a promising flexible biopolymer solution with unique properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, nontoxicity, renewability, and sustainability. Because of their large surface area and porous structure, fibrous cellulose substrates quickly adsorb and disperse analytes at detection sites.
