Abstract

Carbon supported PtAu based bimetallic nanomaterials were synthesized, heat treated (450°C, 2 hrs) and characterized using thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Cyclic voltammetry was employed in order to confirm the typical metallic electrochemical response of the materials and hydrodynamic amperometry was employed for direct glucose determination. The optimized nanocomposite material (Pt 1 Au 3 /C) exhibited excellent sensitivity response (27.0 μAmM −1 cm −2 , LoD 2.9 μM) toward glucose sensing, over the range 0–10 mM glucose at E app = 0.35 V vs Ag/AgCl under neutral conditions (pH 7.4). The sensitivity (μAmM −1 cm −2 per μg of Pt) for heat treated Pt 1 Au 3 /C is 3.46 times that observed for untreated Pt 1 Au 3 /C and 4.36 times that shown by heat treated Pt 1 Au 1 /C. All these results clearly demonstrated the effect of heat-treatment and the role of Au in improving catalytic activity and in effective Pt surface utilization, collectively resulting in excellent response toward glucose electro-oxidation. Overall, the materials demonstrated sensitive and reproducible responses, while eliminating the pH, temperature and lifetime issues associated with enzyme based electrodes. These decorated nanoscale materials are capable of large scale production and are of great promise in the quantification of glucose in real clinical samples as well as can be used in food industry, fermentation/bio-process control and industrial processes.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • High-temperature heat treatment can cause agglomeration of particles, reduction of specific surface area, and broadening of particle size distribution.

    “However, high-temperature heat treatment can cause agglomeration of particles, reduction of specific surface area, and broadening of particle size distribution.”

    From Carbon-Supported Pt-Based Alloy Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells: Particle Size, Shape, and Composition Manipulation and Their Impact to Activity (2015) · cites this paper as [234]

    In “Glucose electro-oxidation studies” (page unavailable), the paper says heat treatment can increase particle size and thereby reduce catalyst active area, supporting the surface-area concern in substance. It does not establish that high-temperature treatment causes agglomeration or broadens the particle-size distribution; it reports treatment at 450 °C without agglomeration and cites improved particle distribution at 400–550 °C.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
