Improving Linear Range Limitation of Non-Enzymatic Glucose Sensor by OH<sup>−</sup> Concentration

The linear range of the non-enzymatic glucose sensor is usually much smaller than the glucose level of diabetic patients, calling for an effective solution. Despite many previous attempts, none have solved the problem. Such a challenge has now been conquered by raising the NaOH concentration in the...
