The ammonia-doped-prGO/CuO nanocomposite film thickness is controlled by varying the deposition time. Morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the formation of a 3 dimensional structure with CuO nanoparticles being homogeneously embedded in the graphene layer. Xray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman analysis revealed that the deposited copper was in its oxidized form, mainly CuO. The Au/ammonia-doped-prGO/CuO electrode was successfully applied for non-enzymatic amperometric detection of glucose. Under optimized conditions, the electrode exhibited a sensitivity of 1210 mu mM(-1) cm(-2) with a detection limit of 0.25 p,M (S/N =3) over a wide concentration range (0.25 mu M to 6 mM) at an applied potential of +0.50 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The electrode material displayed good stability, excellent selectivity, and accurate measurement in healthy and diabetic human serum samples. %B Electrochimica Acta %V 224 %P 346-354 %8 JAN %G eng %9 Article %3 Foreign %4 5.116 %R 10.1016/j.electacta.2016.12.078
