Summary: In this study, a new FTO/TiO2/PbO2 electrode was fabricated and used as an eco-friendly electrochemical chemical oxygen demand (COD) sensor. The TiO2 interlayer was used to enhance the adhesion of PbO2 to the FTO substrate by providing a large TiO2/PbO2 interface area. The effects of applied potential, supporting electrolyte concentration, and stirring speed on the sensing performance were investigated. Under optimized conditions, linear responses to the COD of water with different sources and a linear range from 5 to 120 mg/L for sucrose as the COD source were achieved. The relative standard deviations (RSD) were less than 9% for glucose solutions with COD values of 7.5, 12.5, and 17.5 mg/L. The obtained results for real sample analysis were comparable to those measured using the conventional dichromate method, with a relative error less than 11%.

Summary: A facile and sensitive glucose sandwich assay using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was developed. Glucose was captured by 3-aminopheyonyl boronic acid (APBA) modified Ag nanoparticles decorated onto a polyamide surface. APBA forms specific cis-diol compounds with glucose molecules avoiding interference by other saccharides and biomolecules in urine enabling its selective detection. AEPO exhibited a distinctive SERS peak in the Raman silent region, thus increasing the sensitivity of the glucose detection to 10(-11) M. The developed SERS assay was reusable and showed potential as a diagnostic tool for glucose sensing in clinical applications.
