Abstract
Background
Glucose and lactate are critical biomarkers of human health. Monitoring their concentrations in sweat is essential for diagnosing of various diseases. Due to the low concentration of biomarkers in sweat, developing highly sensitive and selective sensing material is crucial for accurate detection.
Methods
Hydrochar carbon (HC) was prepared through hydrothermal carbonization using pistachio shells. Due to the carbonyl and carboxyl functional groups on the surface of HC, the HC-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (HC/SPCE) is anticipated to significantly enhance the properties associated with electrochemical sensing.
Significant findings
A biomass-derived HC is for the simultaneous electrochemical detection of glucose and lactate. The HC/SPCE exhibited excellent selectivity, reproducibility, stability, and low LOD for the detection of glucose 0.28 µM and lactate 0.37 µM were established through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) analysis. Furthermore, HC/SPCE exhibited remarkably in real sweat sample analysis with high recovery of 99.8 %, positioning it as a highly promising sensor candidate for portable and cost-effective on-site detection of crucial sweat biomarkers.
