A novel glucose biosensor was developed based on the adsorption of glucose oxidase at a TiO(2)-Graphene (GR) nanocomposite electrode. A TiO(2)-GR composite was synthesized from a colloidal mixture of TiO(2) nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets by an aerosol assisted self-assembly (AASA). The particle morphology of all TiO(2)-GR composites was spherical in shape. It was observed that micron-sized TiO(2) particles were encapsulated by GR nanosheets and that the degree of encapsulation was proportional to the ratio of GO/TiO(2). The amperometric response of the glucose biosensor fabricated by the TiO(2)-GR composite was linear against a concentration of glucose ranging from 0 to 8mM at -0.6 V. The highest sensitivity was noted at about 6.2 μA/mMcm(2). The as prepared glucose biosensor based on the TiO(2)-GR composite showed higher catalytic performance for glucose redox than a pure TiO(2) and GR biosensor.

Frequent glucose monitoring is essential for effective diabetes management. Currently, glucose monitoring is done using invasive methods such as finger-pricking and subcutaneous sensing. However, these methods can cause discomfort, heighten the risk of infection, and some sensing devices need frequent calibration.

The evolution of high-performance electrode materials has significantly impacted the development of real-time monitoring biosensors, emphasizing the need for compatibility with biomaterials and robust electrochemical properties. This work focuses on creating electrode materials utilizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), specifically examining their dispersion behavior and electrochemical characteristics. By using ultrasonic waves, we analyzed the dispersion of CNTs in various solvents, including N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), deionized water (DW), ethanol, and acetone.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a candidate for green energy sources due to microbes' ability to generate charge in their metabolic processes. The main problem in MFCs is slow charge transfer between microorganisms and electrodes. Several methods to improve charge transfer have been used until now: modification of microorganisms by conductive polymers, use of lipophilic mediators, and conductive nanomaterials.
