A Highly Sensitive Enzyme-Less Glucose Sensor Based on Pnictogens and Silver Shell-Gold Core Nanorod Composites

Herein, we successfully incorporated pnictogen–Au@AgNR composites, produced by mixing shear exfoliated pnictogen nanosheets with silver shell, gold core nanorods (Au@AgNRs), as novel electrode materials towards the development of a non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensor. The findings of this study conceptually prove the feasibility of incorporating pnictogen-based composites for future development of electrochemical sensors.
