MXene−Graphene Oxide Heterostructured Films for Enhanced Metasurface Plasmonic Biosensing in Continuous Glucose Monitoring by Rui Li, Hongli Fan, Youqian Chen, Shaoping Yin, Gang L. Liu, Yanan Li, Liping Huang

“…Abstract Non‐invasive biosensors have attracted attention for their potential to obtain continuous, real‐time physiological information through measurements of biochemical markers, such as one of the most important—glucose, in biological fluids. Although some optical sensing materials are used in non‐invasive devices for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), surface or localized plasmon sensing material are seldom applied in CGM owing to modest sensitivity and bulk sensing apparatus. …”
