The role of electrodeposition conditions in creating MnO2-based flexible non-enzymatic glucose sensors by Ivan S. Filimonenkov, Anna I. Mokhova, Didar Zh. Kurzhumbaev, Sergey A. Urvanov

“…A rotating ring-disk electrode was applied to reveal differences in the electrodeposition process under various conditions as well as to solidly establish potentials of MnO2 cathodic dissolution and O2/Cl2 evolution at pH 7.40. For the most active sensor electrode with pronounced MnO2 surface architecture a linear square root concentration plot in the full physiological glucose range (1–30 mM) was demonstrated. …”
