摘要

In this study, we presented the design and development of a flexible and non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor based on in situ growth of Au nanowires (AuNWs) on carbon cloth (CC) for the dynamic monitoring of uric acid levels in human sweat. The electrode was fabricated through a controllable process, resulting in a three-dimensional conductive network with high surface area and abundant electroactive sites on the electrode surface. Electrochemical analyses demonstrated that the electrode exhibits excellent sensitivity toward uric acid with a wide linear response range from 10 to 700 μM and a low detection limit of 1.4 μM. The electrode was further integrated into a wearable sensing platform and applied for real-time, non-invasive sweat sampling and monitoring during exercise. The results indicated that the sensor exhibited a high correlation between sweat and blood uric acid levels measured by a commercial device, validating its potential applicability for the daily monitoring of uric acid. This work provides a promising strategy for the development of facile and reliable wearable sensors, with significant potential in non-invasive healthcare monitoring.
