In this study, we introduce a chemical plating method to fabricate a gold film electrode, coupled with prussian blue (PB) and glucose oxidase (GOx), for the development of a glucose electrochemical biosensor. This process offers simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility under regular experimental conditions. The electrode surface is covered with numerous gold nanoparticles, effectively augmenting the actual electrode area and enhancing electron transfer efficiency. Remarkably, without the addition of sensitizing agents, the biosensor achieves highly sensitive glucose detection.

Experimental chronoamperograms in electrochemical faradaic spectroscopy are compared to chronoamperometry, where it was found that the sum component in electrochemical faradaic spectroscopy gives higher response, resulting in better sensitivity of the sensor. Theoretical simulations give an insight of the response in electrochemical faradaic spectroscopy for an EC’ mechanism and its dependence on different parameters (dimensionless electrode kinetic parameter, mid potential, dimensionless chemical kinetic parameter). For some specific set of parameters (large electrode and catalytic reaction kinetics), theoretical chronoamperograms in electrochemical faradaic spectroscopy can become similar to the experimental. The property of the sum component to have higher response in EC’ mechanism for specific parameters is not limited only for electrochemical faradaic spectroscopy. Exemplified with square-wave voltammetry, it is shown that other pulse techniques for an EC’ mechanism can also result with higher sum component.
