This paper describes a simple electrochemical sensing platform based on single‑ walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT ) electrodes for glucose detection. The device fabrication using O ‑plasma treatment allows precision and uniformity for the construction of three SWCNT electrodes on the flexible plastic substrate. Glucose assay can be simply accom‑ plished by introducing a glucose sample into the fabricated biosensor. The marked electrocatalytic and biocompat‑ ible properties of biosensors based on SWCNT electrodes with the incorporation of ferrocenecarboxylic acid and poly‑ ethylene glycol enable effective amperometric measurement of glucose at a low oxidation potential (0.3 V ) with low interferences from coexisting species. The device shows efficient electroanalytical performances with high sensitivity −1 −2 (5.5 μA·mM ·cm ), good reproducibility (CV less than 3%), and long‑term stability (over a month). A linear range of response was found from 0 to 10 mM of glucose with a fast response time of 10 s. This attractive electroanalytical device based on GOx/FCA/PEG/SWCNT electrodes offers a promising system to facilitate a new approach for diverse biosensors and electrochemical devices.

In contrast with ICP and RIE etching, CCP-based plasma treatment has the advantages on: (1) uniformity of plasma density; (2) low operating temperature; (3) relatively low ion ener- gies, which allow the homogeneity of etched patterns on a large-scaled area and the favorable processes for plastic substrate with good reproducibility and reliability with high feature resolution Additional file 1: (Fig. S2). The plasma fabrication process for SWCNT films included photolithography and subsequent O -plasma treatment. During the plasma treatment, SWCNTs underneath the patterned photoresist polymer were protected from etch- ing and damage by O -plasma while the exposed SWC- NTs were destroyed. The area patterned by O -plasma treatment was more transparent than the area protected Fig. 3 Raman spectra of SWCNT films recorded from SWCNTs a protected with a photoresist polymer, and b exposed to O ‑plasma with the photoresist polymer as shown in Fig. 2.

Journal of Analytical Science and Technology (2023) 14:9 Page 5 of 8 −1 We noted the change in peaks at 1598 cm (G-line) −1 and 1335 cm (D-line) in SWCNTs corresponding to graphite/ordered carbons and amorphous/disor- der carbons, respectively (Park et al. 2015; Dennany et al. 2010). When comparing the PR-covered area (a) and exposed area (b), the representative CNTs peaks −1 −1 at 1598 cm and 1335 cm greatly decreased after O -plasma treatment and decreased by almost 99% compared with the PR-covered area. Moreover, the intensity ratio (I/ I ) increased from 0.128 (a) to 0.725 D G (b), which indicates an increase in disordered phases. This reveals that ordered carbons of CNTs changed to amorphous carbons by O -plasma etching, resulting in the conversion of disordered carbons to volatile CO .
