摘要

Non-invasive glucose monitoring is a critical need for improving diabetes management and patient comfort. In this study, we theoretically design and optimize a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor using a novel multilayer structure of copper (Cu), potassium niobate (KNbO₃), and black phosphorus (BP) in a modified Kretschmann configuration. Numerical simulations based on the transfer matrix method (TMM) were performed to evaluate sensor performance across physiologically relevant urine glucose concentrations. The KNbO₃ layer enhances electromagnetic field confinement, while the BP monolayer provides efficient analyte adsorption due to its high surface-to-volume ratio. The optimized design achieves a maximum sensitivity of 608.33°/RIU and a figure of merit of 191.9 RIU⁻¹ significantly outperforming several recently reported urine glucose sensors. These results establish KNbO₃ as a promising dielectric for SPR applications and demonstrate the practical potential of the proposed platform as a cost-effective, label-free, and highly sensitive solution for point-of-care urine glucose monitoring.
