Nano-Al₂O₃ was synthesized via a sol–gel process, yielding uniformly dispersed, porous particles with diameters of 80–90 nm and an average crystallite size of approximately 55 nm, which enhanced the electrode’s catalytic efficiency and electron transfer capabilities. The carbon paste electrode was prepared by incorporating 10 wt% of nano-Al₂O₃ into a composite of graphite and carbon black, followed by immobilization of LOx from a 2.5 mg/mL solution to ensure stable enzyme activity. Electrochemical evaluation revealed that the modification reduced the charge transfer resistance from 410 Ω for the bare electrode to 324 Ω, while the subsequent enzyme coating increased resistance moderately to 534 Ω without compromising performance. Calibration studies using lactate concentrations ranging from 0.1 mM to 50 mM yielded a linear response with a sensitivity of 150 mV per decade and a detection limit of 0.08 mM. The biosensor reached stable readings within 45–60 s and exhibited high reproducibility with a relative standard deviation below 4 % over repeated tests. <em>Ex vivo</em> sweat analysis during controlled exercise demonstrated a recovery rate of 96 % and a strong correlation (R² = 0.97) with standard HPLC measurements, verifying the biosensor’s real-world applicability.

Early detection is paramount for effective management and prevention of debilitating long-term complications, yet conventional diagnostic methods face limitations in terms of accuracy, convenience, cost, and ability to capture dynamic glycemic changes. Electrochemical biosensors offer a promising alternative, providing advantages such as high sensitivity, rapid response, portability, and potential for miniaturization. The advent of two-dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and MXenes, has revolutionized the field of electrochemical sensing. Their unique physicochemical properties—including high electrical conductivity for rapid electron transfer, large surface area for enhanced analyte interaction, tunable surface functionalization for bioreceptor immobilization, and mechanical flexibility for wearable integration—enable substantial improvements in sensitivity, selectivity, and operational stability of electrochemical sensors. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the progress in utilizing 2D material-enhanced electrochemical sensors for the early detection of key diabetes-related biomarkers, including glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, glucagon, and ketones. We discuss the fundamental properties of these 2D materials and the mechanisms by which they improve sensor sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. Recent advancements in sensor design, fabrication strategies, and performance metrics (limit of detection, linear range, response time) are critically examined, along with validation studies in relevant biological matrices. Despite considerable progress, challenges remain concerning material synthesis reproducibility, long-term stability in biological environments, susceptibility to biofouling and interference, and pathways towards cost-effective, scalable manufacturing and clinical translation. Future prospects, including the exploration of novel 2D materials and heterostructures, advanced functionalization techniques, multiplexed detection platforms, and integration into wearable and point-of-care systems, are discussed. Addressing the current hurdles will be crucial for realizing the full potential of 2D material-based electrochemical sensors in transforming diabetes diagnostics and management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13872,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrochemical Science","volume":"20 10","pages":"Article 101123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144580737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arsenic is known as one of the anode components that can help prevent anode passivation. This study challenges the proposed mechanism of acid generation in a boundary layer of the passive layer and aims to expand the effect of arsenic both before and after the generation of the passive layer. The novel mechanism proposed in this study explains why samples with higher arsenic content have a higher dissolution rate before the passive layer forms. It also accounts for the longer time to passivation values observed in higher arsenic-containing anodes. The proposed mechanism also describes the passive layer dissolution rate as a function of arsenic content. The study investigated the impact of arsenic on the passivation mechanism of copper anodes at different arsenic concentrations using chronopotentiometry (CP) and contact angle experimental methods. The CP and ICP results confirm that the time to passivation increases and the electrolyte cupric concentration rises as the anode arsenic content increases from 500 to 1500 ppm. The higher dissolution rate of the anodes containing more arsenic was attributed to their fine, dendritic structure and higher wettability before the formation of the passive layer. Interestingly, the fastest dissolution rate after the formation of the passive layer was observed in the 1000 ppm arsenic sample. This was attributed to the counter effect of the electrolyte on surface accessibility caused by the passive layer microstructure and the wettability of the anode surface.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13872,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrochemical Science","volume":"20 10","pages":"Article 101115"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
