Diabetes is known as one of the most important health problems nowadays, the numbers of diabetes
patients are increasing rapidly in the world and in our country. In this work reduced graphene oxide and
oxide nickel nanoparticles composite NiO-rGO nanocomposite was synthesized by an in situ reduction
process which was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) [1]. NiO modified reduced
graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite (NiO-rGO) was introduced to the glassy carbon electrode (GCE)
surface for the construction of a nonenzymatic electrochemical glucose biosensor [2]. The
electrochemical properties of such a NiO-rGO modified GCE were carefully investigated. It showed a
high activity for electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose in alkaline medium. The proposed nonenzymatic
sensor can be utilized for quantification of glucose. It also exhibited good reproducibility as well as
high selectivity[3].
