Nanoporous Cauliflower-like Pd-Loaded Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes as an Enzyme-Free Electrocatalyst for Glucose Sensing at Neutral pH: Mechanism Study.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we propose a novel functionalized carbon nanotube (f-CNT) supporting nanoporous cauliflower-like Pd nanostructures (PdNS) as an enzyme-free interface for glucose electrooxidation reaction (GOR) in a neutral medium (pH 7.4). The novelty resides in preparing the PdNS/f-CNT biomimetic nanocatalyst using a cost-effective and straightforward method, which consists of drop-casting well-dispersed f-CNTs over the Screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) surface, followed by the electrodeposition of PdNS. Several parameters affecting the morphology, structure, and catalytic properties toward the GOR of the PdNS catalyst, such as the PdCl2 precursor concentration and electrodeposition conditions, were investigated during this work. The electrochemical behavior of the PdNS/f-CNT/SPCE towa
