Integration of NiTiO<sub>3</sub> Films onto TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanorods as Photoanodes for Glucose\nDetection with Near-Infrared\nLight

Diabetes remains a significant chronic disease, with\nits prevalence\nprojected to exceed 700 million by 2045. Monitoring glucose levels\nthrough conventional methods is crucial for mitigating the associated\nhealth risks. In this study, NiTiO<sub>3</sub> films are loaded on\nTiO<sub>2</sub> nanorods to create photoanodes, which are applied\nfor glucose detection using near-infrared (NIR) light illumination.\nThis approach achieved a detection limit of 0.01 mM with selectivity\nreaching up to 95%. Additionally, the long-term stability was confirmed\nfor at least 16 weeks. This study demonstrates the potential of using\nNiTiO<sub>3</sub>-based nanomaterials as an NIR-driven sensor for\nglucose detection.
