Synthesis, characterization and biosensor applications of CuO-NiO nanocomposite

Abstract

The effect of CuO-NiO nanocomposite was studied by addition of various concentrations of acetone. High acetone level in human breath is an indication of the diabetes. Studies were performed to determine the structure (XRD, Raman) and morphology (SEM with EDAX). The CV response of modified GCE with and without acetone was studied. It was observed that in the presence of acetone there is a reduction in current. These sensors show excellent flexibility and can used to fabricate the sensors to stick on the body.
