Abstract

The invention provides a flexible sweat sensor. The flexible sweat sensor comprises a flexible substrate as well as a glucose working electrode, a lactic acid working electrode and a reference electrode which are arranged on the surface of the flexible substrate. Glucose oxidase (or lactate oxidase) on the electrode is utilized for oxidizing glucose (or lactic acid) in sweat to generate hydrogen peroxide; hydrogen peroxide can directly perform reduction reaction on the electrode; reduction current is detected through an electrochemical workstation and then the concentrations of the glucose andlactic acid in the sweat can be obtained according to the current magnitude and a standard curve. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, the response current level is improved by utilizing a Prussian blue layer to speed up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; the sensor disclosed by the invention has high sensitivity; the minimum detection limit for the glucose reaches10nM and the minimum detection limit for lactic acid reaches 1mu M.
