Non-enzymatic glucose sensing from nitrogen-enriched detonation soot

Detonation-derived nitrogen-enriched detonation soot is reported herein as a promising candidate for non-enzymatic glucose sensing. The intrinsic impurities and heteroatom composition present within detonation soot act as electrocatalytic centers, facilitating efficient glucose oxidation. These findings highlight the potential of detonation-synthesized nanodiamonds as cost-effective and stable electrode materials for glucose sensing applications.
