Rapid functionalization of carbon nanotube and its electrocatalysis

It was reported that carbon nanotube (CNT) was functionalized with the electroactive Nile blue (NB), which is a phenoxazine dye, by a method of adsorption to form a NB-CNT nanocomposite. The NB-CNT nanocomposite was characterized by several spectroscopic techniques, for example, Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) etc., and the results showed that NB could rapidly and effectively be adsorbed on the surface of CNT with a high stability without changing the native structure of NB and the structure properties of CNT. Moreover, it was shown that the dispersion ability of CNT in aqueous solution had a significantly improvement after CNT functionalized with NB even at a level of high concentration, for example, 5 mg of NB-CNT per 1 mL of H₂O. The NB-CNT/ glasssy carbon (GC) electrode was fabricated by modifying NB-CNT nanocomposite on the GC electrode surface and its electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic voltammetric results indicate that CNT can improve the electrochemical behavior of NB and greatly enhance its redox peak currents. While the NB-CNT/GC electrode exhibited a pair of well-defined and nearly symmetrical redox peaks with the formal potential of (−0.422±0.002) V (versus SCE, 0.1 mol/L PBS, pH 7.0), which was almost independent on the scan rates, for electrochemical reaction of NB monomer; and the redox peak potential of NB polymer located at about −0.191 V. The experimental results also demonstrated that NB and CNT could synergistically catalyze the electrochemically oxidation of NADH (β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form) and NB-CNT exhibited a high performance with lowing the overpotential of more than 560 mV. The NB-CNT/GC electrode could effectively sense the concentration of NADH, which was produced during the process of oxidation of substrate (e.g. ethanol) catalyzed by dehydrogenase (e.g. alcohol dehydrogenase). The presented method for functionalization of CNT had several advantages, such as rapid and facile CNT functionalization, easy electrode fabrication and high electrocatalytic activity, etc., and could be used for fabrication electrochemical biosensor on the basis of dehydrogenase. __________ Translated from Acta Chimica Sinica, 2007, 65(1): 1–9 [译自: 化学学报]

The carbon nanotube (CNT) was functionalized with the electroactive species of 1,2-naphthoquinone (Nq) by a method of adsorption to form Nq-CNT nanocomposite. The Nq-CNT was characterized by spectroscopic techniques, for example UV-Vis, FTIR, SEM, etc., and the results showed that Nq can rapidly and effectively be adsorbed on the surface of CNT with high stability. Moreover, it was shown that the dispersion ability of CNT in aqueous solution had a significant improvement after CNT functionalized with Nq. The Nq-CNT/GC electrode was fabricated by modifying Nq-CNT nanocomposite on the GC electrode surface and its electrochemical properties were investigated by voltammetry, which indicated that CNT could improve the electrochemical behavior of Nq and greatly enhance its redox peak currents. The Nq-CNT/GC electrode exhibited a pair of well-defined and nearly symmetrical redox peaks with the formal potential of –87.3 ± 4.5 mV (vs. SCE, 0.1 M PBS, pH 7.0), which was almost independent on the scan rates. The experimental results also demonstrated that Nq and CNT could synergistically catalyze the electrochemical oxidation of NADH, and Nq-CNT exhibited a high performance with lowering the overpotential by more than 510 mV. The presented method had some advantages, such as rapid and facile CNT functionalization, easy electrode fabrication, and high electrocatalytic activity, etc.

Electrochemical biosensors based on redox carbon nanotubes prepared by noncovalent functionalization with 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione

To improve the electrocatalytic activities of carbon nanotubes (CNT) towards the oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), we derive them with a redox mediator, 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (PD), by the noncovalent functionalization method. The redox carbon nanotubes (PD/CNT/GC) show excellent electrocatalytic activities towards the oxidation of NADH (catalytic reaction rate constant, k(h) = 7.26 × 10(3) M(-1) s(-1)), so the determination of NADH can be achieved with a high sensitivity of 8.77 μA mM(-1) under the potential of 0.0 V with minimal interference. We also develop an amperometric ethanol biosensor by integration of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) within the redox carbon nanotubes (PD/CNT/GC). The ethanol biosensor exhibits a wide linear range up to 7 mM with a lower detection limit of 0.30 mM as well as a high sensitivity of 10.85 nA mM(-1).     

Fabrication of Chitosan‐Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite Containing Ferri/Ferrocyanide: Application for Simultaneous Detection of D‐Penicillamine and Tryptophan

We report a simple and effective strategy for fabrication of the nanocomposite containing chitosan (CS) and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) coated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The characterization of the modified electrode (CS‐MWNT/GC) was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy. The electrochemical behavior of CS‐MWNT/GC electrode was investigated and compared with the electrochemical behavior of chitosan modified GC (CS/GC), multiwalled carbon nanotube modified GC (MWNT/GC) and unmodified GC using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The chitosan films are electrochemically inactive; similar background charging currents are observed at bare GC. The chitosan films are permeable to anionic Fe(CN)₆^3?/4? (FC) redox couple. Electrochemical parameters, including apparent diffusion coefficient for the Fe(CN)₆^3?/4? redox probe at FC/CS‐MWNT/GC electrode is comparable to values reported for cast chitosan films. This modified electrode also showed electrocatalytic effect for the simultaneous determination of D‐penicillamine (D‐PA) and tryptophan (Trp). The detection limit of 0.9 μM and 4.0 μM for D‐PA and Trp, respectively, makes this nanocomposite very suitable for determination of them with good sensitivity.

A linear response up to 200 µM was obtained for photoamperometric determination of NADH with detection limit 1 µM.

Compared with the bare GC and OMC/GC electrodes, the PCC/OMC/GC electrode exhibits a good electrocatalysis toward the oxidation of NADH at 0.0 V with a high sensitivity (8.7 mA/mM). These make PCC/OMC/GC electrode a promising candidate for stable and efficient electrochemical sensors for the detection of NADH.     

Carbon‐Nanotube Based Electrochemical Biosensors: A Review

This review addresses recent advances in carbon‐nanotubes (CNT) based electrochemical biosensors. The unique chemical and physical properties of CNT have paved the way to new and improved sensing devices, in general, and electrochemical biosensors, in particular. CNT‐based electrochemical transducers offer substantial improvements in the performance of amperometric enzyme electrodes, immunosensors and nucleic‐acid sensing devices. The greatly enhanced electrochemical reactivity of hydrogen peroxide and NADH at CNT‐modified electrodes makes these nanomaterials extremely attractive for numerous oxidase‐ and dehydrogenase‐based amperometric biosensors. Aligned CNT “forests” can act as molecular wires to allow efficient electron transfer between the underlying electrode and the redox centers of enzymes. Bioaffinity devices utilizing enzyme tags can greatly benefit from the enhanced response of the biocatalytic‐reaction product at the CNT transducer and from CNT amplification platforms carrying multiple tags. Common designs of CNT‐based biosensors are discussed, along with practical examples of such devices. The successful realization of CNT‐based biosensors requires proper control of their chemical and physical properties, as well as their functionalization and surface immobilization.

A simple and new way to assemble Nile blue (NB) covalently onto the surface of functionalized single‐walled carbon nanotubes (f‐SWCNTs) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode (NB/f‐SWCNTs/GC electrode) was described.

The reaction was found to obey a so‐called Michaelis–Menten kinetics and the related kinetic parameters were determined. This modified electrode possesses promising characteristics as NADH sensor; a wide linear dynamic range of 0.2 to 200 µM, low detection limit of 0.18 µM, fast response time (1–2 s), high sensitivity (24 µA cm⁻² mM⁻¹), anti‐interference ability and anti‐fouling.
