Glucose electrochemical oxidation at modified electrode with ZnO based nano catalyst

In this work, at first we synthesized 1 % Ag doped ZnO with hydrothermal method as electroactive catalyst for glucose oxidation. ZnO nanostructure was prepared using monosaccharide templates. The effect of dopant concentration and synthesis conditions such as temperature on the structural morphology and electro-catalytic properties of final product was studied. The electrochemical oxidation of glucose was evaluated by GCE modified with synthesized Ag doped ZnO nanostructures. The scan rate effect, voltammetric parameters and electrolyte type on the electro-oxidation response of glucose was studied. Obtained results revealed improvement of glucose electro-oxidation response that confirmed the applicability of the prepared modified electrode for glucose bio fuel cells.
