ABSTRACT
A unique nanomaterial has been developed for sweat analysis, including glucose level monitoring. Simple resusable low-cost sensors from composite materials based on graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and conductive PEDOTPSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)polystyrene sulfonate) polymer have been developed and fabricated via 2D printing on flexible substrates. The sensors were tested as biosensors using different water-based solutions. A strong increase in the current response (several orders of magnitude) was observed for aqua vapors or glucose solution vapors. This property is associated with the sorption capacity of graphene synthesized in a volume of plasma jets and thus having many active centers on the surface. The structure and properties of graphene synthesized in a plasma are different from those of graphene created by other methods. As a result, the current response for a wearable sensor is 3-5 orders of magnitude higher for the reference blood glucose concentration range of 4-14 mM. It has been found that the most promising sensor with the highest response was fabricated based on the graphenePEDOTPSS composite. The grapheneh-BNPEDOTPSS (h-BN is hexagonal boron nitride) sensors demonstrated a longer response and the highest response after the functionalization of the sensors with a glucose oxidase enzyme. The reusable wearable graphenePEDOTPSS glucose sensors on a paper substrate demonstrated a current response of 10-10 to 10-5 A for an operating voltage of 0.5 V and glucose range of 4-10 mM.
