Abstract
Initially, the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose on gold and platinum was studied in connection with the development of electrochemical sensors for determining the concentration of sugars in blood1 and the realisation of implantable glucose fuel cells as power sources for cardiac pacemakers2. Unfortunately, glucose sensors failed to respond to variations in glucose concentrations because platinum electrodes lose their activity with time. Also, glucose anodes have had a low efficiency and stability of operation. These facts gave impetus to a large number of studies, mainly based on potentiodynamic voltammetric curves and the spectroscopic analysis of the reaction products, devoted to the anodic oxidation of glucose and of related compounds on small beads of noble metal electrodes3–18.
