Ni–Co alloy nanostructures anchored on mesoporous silica nanoparticles for non-enzymatic glucose sensor applications

Abstract

Uniform sized Ni–Co alloy nanoparticles were effectively confined over the active channels of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) using a simple chemical reduction method, and the resultant nanostructures exhibited a spherical configuration with a mean diameter of 5 nm.
