Nevertheless, metal oxides exhibit relatively high electrical resistance, and their selectivity and signal-to-noise ratio for low-concentration glucose detection still require improvement. We here developed a NiO@In2O3 hollow nanofibers-based glucose biosensor with excellent performance. The heterojunction of NiO@In2O3 hollow nanofibers is obtained via a two-step process involving electrospinning and hydrothermal methods, respectively. The resulting sensor exhibits good activity as an electrocatalyst for the oxidation of glucose, with an ultralow limit of detection (LOD) of 2 nM and a good sensitivity of 1147 µA mM−1 cm−2, in line with excellent long-term stability, reproducibility, and good selectivity. These high-performance sensor are validated by monitoring glucose levels in human saliva. It demonstrates that heterojunction of NiO@In2O3 hollow nanofibers can be used as effective electrochemical sensing materials in practical biological applications. date: 2025-01-01 date_type: published publisher: ELSEVIER official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.microc.2024.112401 full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2344355 doi: 10.1016/j.microc.2024.112401 lyricists_name: Li, Bing lyricists_id: BLICX39 actors_name: Li, Bing actors_id: BLICX39 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: RS-2023-00284318 [Ministry of Science and ICT, through the National Research Foundation of Korea]; IEC\NSFC\223128 [Royal Society International Exchange Award] full_text_status: restricted publication: Microchemical Journal volume: 208 article_number: 112401 pages: 8 issn: 0026-265X citation: Zhang, C; Xu, X; Li, B; Li, H; Tan, X; Justin Jesuraj, P; Xie, W; (2025) Ultra sensitive and low detection limitation non-enzymatic glucose biosensor based on heterojunction NiO@In2O3 hollow nanofibers.
