Electrochemical Codeposition of Platinum and Molybdenum Oxides: Formation of Composite Films with Distinct Electrocatalytic Activity for Hydrogen Peroxide Detection

The electrochemical properties of gold electrode surfaces modified by molybdenum oxide films intercalated with platinum microparticles have been described. The incorporation of Pt microparticles at the oxide film was characterized by PIXE (particle induced X‐ray emission) spectroscopy. The modified electrode showed electrochemical activity at around ?0.5 V in 50 mmol L^?1 Na₂SO₄ supporting electrolyte (pH 3), corresponding to the reduction of protons at platinum sites and further transfer of hydrogen atoms to form reduced molybdenum oxides (bronzes). At 0.1 V, the MoO₃ / Pt electrode showed a better performance for hydrogen peroxide oxidation than on platinized gold electrodes. The solution pH has a marked effect on the voltammetric profile and best responses for hydrogen peroxide were obtained at the 5.0 to 6.0 pH range. The activation of the electrode by polarization at negative potentials was also studied and a mechanism by which more platinum sites are available as a consequence of this process was proposed. Calibration plots for hydrogen peroxide were highly linear (r=0.9989) in the 0.2 to 1.6 mmol L^?1 concentration range, with a relative standard deviation (RSD)<1%.

Novel hydrogen peroxide sensors based on peroxidase-carrying poly[pyrrole-co-[4-(3-pyrrolyl)butanesulfonate]] copolymer films.

Amperometric hydrogen peroxide biosensors were fabricated by incorporating horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into poly[pyrrole-co-[4-(3-pyrrolyl)butanesulfonate]] (Py-PS) copolymer films deposited on an SnO2 electrode surface by electropolymerization. The HRP/Py-PS electrodes exhibited an extended dynamic range and a markedly improved operational and storage stability, compared with HRP-incorporated polypyrrole (PPy) electrodes prepared under similar conditions. The linear range was expanded from 10(-7)-10(-4) M to 10(-7)-10(-3) M H2O2. In about 80 measurements over three weeks, the HRP/Py-PS electrode retained 60% of its initial response, while the HRP/PPy electrode almost completely lost activity. The influence of the electrodeposition solution pH on the sensor response was also investigated. Our results suggest that an expansion of the linear range and an enhancement of lifetime are due to electrostatic interactions of HRP with a negatively-charged Py-PS copolymer.     

Preparation of Pt/polypyrrole-ferrocene hydrogen peroxide sensitive electrode for the use as a biosensor

A polypyrrole electrode with ferrocene mediator is prepared and its sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide is investigated. The polypyrrole is deposited upon a 0.5 cm² Pt plate by the polymerization of pyrrole by scanning the electrode potential between 0.0 and 0.9 V at a scan rate of 50 mV/s.

The electrode’s sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide is investigated at room temperature using 0.025 M phosphate buffer at pH 7. The working potential is 0.7 V, the concentrations of pyrrole and ferrocene are 0.2 M and 10 mM. Polypyrrole was coated on the electrode surface within 26 cycles.

The response of the designed biosensor for glucose and galactose were linear up to 6.0mmol/L and 3.5mmol/L with sensitivities of 0.3μA/mmol/L and 0.12μA/mmol/L, respectively. No cross-talking effect was observed.     

Electrochemical Detection of Protons Produced in an Electrode Reaction Using Interdigitated Microarray Electrodes

This work describes the use of interdigitated array electrodes (IDAE) for proton detection. Methanol electrooxidation in sulfuric acid solution was exemplified. Reduction currents originating in the reaction product generated by methanol electrooxidation on a Pt generator electrode were observed at the Pt collector electrode, the potential of which was fixed in the hydrogen evolution region. In order to reduce the background current of hydrogen evolution, an Hg‐plated Pt collector electrode was fabricated. Compared to the Pt collector electrode, the reduction current observed at the Hg collector electrode was extremely small. The product detected was found to be a proton from the current responses observed at Pt and Hg collector electrodes.

Single-wall carbon nanotube-based proton exchange membrane assembly for hydrogen fuel cells

A membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for hydrogen fuel cells has been fabricated using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) support and platinum catalyst. Films of SWCNTs and commercial platinum (Pt) black were sequentially cast on a carbon fiber electrode (CFE) using a simple electrophoretic deposition procedure. Scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy showed that the nanotubes and the platinum retained their nanostructure morphology on the carbon fiber surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed that the carbon nanotube-based electrodes exhibited an order of magnitude lower charge-transfer reaction resistance (R(ct)) for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) than did the commercial carbon black (CB)-based electrodes. The proton exchange membrane (PEM) assembly fabricated using the CFE/SWCNT/Pt electrodes was evaluated using a fuel cell testing unit operating with H(2) and O(2) as input fuels at 25 and 60 degrees C. The maximum power density obtained using CFE/SWCNT/Pt electrodes as both the anode and the cathode was approximately 20% better than that using the CFE/CB/Pt electrodes.

Electrochemical deposition and mechanism investigation of Prussian blue on graphic carbon paste electrode from an acidic ferricyanide solution

Prussian blue (PB) films were electrochemically deposited on graphite carbon paste electrodes (GCPEs) from an acidic solution of ferricyanide using the potentiodynamic and potentiostatic techniques. Interestingly, we, for the first time, observed that on the surface of GCPE, the electrochemistry of PB films strongly depended on the deposition potential. A maximum formation rate of PB was obtained at a more positive deposition potential (0.4 V vs saturated calomel electrode) on GCPE than that on Au or Pt electrode. The ratio of peak current at ca 0.75 V to the one at 0.19 V varied with the deposition potential. In addition, the electrocatalytic activity of the modified GCPEs towards the reduction of hydrogen peroxide considerably changed with the formation potentials of the PB films. These phenomena can be due to the different formation mechanism of PB at different deposition potentials. Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Teresa Iwasita on the occasion of her 65th birthday in recognition of her numerous contributions to interfacial electrochemistry.     

Using novel polysaccharide-silica hybrid material to construct an amperometric biosensor for hydrogen peroxide

A new type of sol-gel organic-inorganic hybrid material was developed and used for the fabrication of an amperometric hydrogen peroxide biosensor. This material was prepared from natural chitosan and recently introduced completely water-soluble precursor, tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl) orthosilicates (THEOS), by the sol-gel process without the addition of organic solvents and catalysts. The gelation time for the sol-gel transition and dynamic rheological properties of the resultant gel matrix could be modulated by the amount of added THEOS. The structure of the hybrid gel was made up of a network and spherical particles, as confirmed by SEM observation. By electrochemical experiments, it was found that such a hybrid gel matrix could retain the native biocatalytic activity of the entrapped horseradish peroxidase and provide a fast amperometric response to hydrogen peroxide. The linear range for the determination of hydrogen peroxide was found to be from 1.0 x 10(-6) to 2.5 x 10(-4) mol/L with a detection limit of 4.0 x 10(-7) mol/L. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant was determined to be 2.198 mmol/L. To improve the analytical characteristics of the fabricated biosensor, the effects of applied potential and pH value on the steady-state current were studied. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the fabricated biosensor was found to have good analytical performance, reproducibility, and storage stability.

Nonenzymatic amperometric sensor of hydrogen peroxide and glucose based on Pt nanoparticles/ordered mesoporous carbon nanocomposite

A simple and facile synthetic method to incorporate Pt nanoparticles inside the mesopores of ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) is reported. The Pt/OMCs nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The results show that the incorporation of Pt nanoparticles inside the pores of OMCs does not change the highly ordered two-dimensional hexagonal mesostructure of OMCs matrix. Nonenzymatic amperometric sensor of hydrogen peroxide and glucose based on the Pt/OMCs nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode is developed. Compared with the original OMCs-modified electrode, the Pt/OMCs-modified electrode displays improved current response towards hydrogen peroxide and gives linear range from 2 to 4212 μM. At an applied potential of −0.08 V, the Pt/OMCs nanocomposite gives linearity in the range of 0.5-4.5 mM glucose in neutral buffered saline solution. This glucose sensor also exhibits good ability of anti-interference to electroactive molecules. The combination the unique properties of Pt nanoparticles and the ordered mesostructure of OMCs matrix guarantees the enhanced response for hydrogen peroxide and glucose.     

Layer-by-layer enzyme/polyelectrolyte films as a functional protective barrier in oxidizing media

The influence of a catalase (Cat) layer located at different depths in the layer-by-layer hemoglobin/polystyrene sulfonate films with an (Hb/PSS)(20)(-)(x)/(Cat/PSS)/(Hb/PSS)(x) (x = 0-20) architecture on kinetics of hemoglobin degradation under treatment with hydrogen peroxide solutions of different concentrations and features of H(2)O(2) decay in surrounding solutions has been studied. While assembled on the top of the multilayers, the catalase layer shows the highest activity in hydrogen peroxide decomposition. Hemoglobin in such films retains its nativity for a longer period of time. The effect of catalase layers is compared with that of protamine, horseradish peroxidase, and inactivated catalase. Positioning an active layer with catalytic properties as an outer layer is the best protection strategy for layer-by-layer assembled films in aggressive media.
