Phosphomolybdic acid functionalized graphene loading copper nanoparticles modified electrodes for non-enzymatic electrochemical sensing of glucose

A sensitive non-enzymatic glucose electrochemical biosensor (Cu/PMo₁₂-GR/GCE) was developed based on the combination of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and phosphomolybdic acid functionalized graphene (PMo₁₂-GR). PMo₁₂-GR films were modified on the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) through electrostatic self-assembly with the aid of poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (PDDA). Then CuNPs were successfully decorated onto the PMo₁₂-GR modified GCE through electrodeposition. The morphology of Cu/PMo₁₂-GR/GCE was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry were used to investigate the electrochemical performances of the biosensor. The results indicated that the modified electrode displayed a synergistic effect of PMo₁₂-GR sheets and CuNPs towards the electro-oxidation of glucose in the alkaline solution. At the optimal detection potential of 0.50 V, the response towards glucose presented a linear response ranging from 0.10 μM to 1.0 mM with a detection limit of 3.0 × 10⁻² μM (S/N = 3). In addition, Cu/PMo₁₂-GR/GCE possessed a high selectivity, good reproducibility, excellent stability and acceptable recovery, which indicating the potential application in clinical field.     

Gold nanoparticle based optical and electrochemical sensing of dopamine

This review (with 110 refs.) gives an overview on the progress that has been made in the past few years on the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for use in sensors and analytical tools for the determination of dopamine (DA). Both AuNPs and their composites with other organic and inorganic materials including noble metals are treated. Following an overview on the clinical significance of DA, we discuss the various analytical methods that are (a) electrochemiluminescence (ECL); (b) surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS); (c) colorimetric probing and visual detection; and (d) the large class of electrochemical sensors. Subsections cover sensors based on plain AuNPs, bimetallic NPs, AuNP-metal@metal oxide nanocomposites, AuNP nanocomposites with organic polymers, AuNP nanocomposites with carbon nanotubes or with graphene, and finally sensors based on ternary materials containing AuNPs. The review ends with a conclusion on current challenges of sensors for DA and an outlook on future trends.

We review the recent progress in sensing dopamine based on AuNPs and its nanocomposites including bimetallic nanoparticles, AuNPs-/metal oxide, AuNPs-polymer, AuNPs-carbon nanotubes, AuNPs-graphene and ternary materials using different types of sensing techniques such as electrochemiluminescence (ECL), colorimetric, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and electrochemical techniques.

     

Fabrication of layer-by-layer modified multilayer films containing choline and gold nanoparticles and its sensing application for electrochemical determination of dopamine and uric acid

A novel electrochemical sensor has been constructed by use of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with a gold nanoparticle/choline (GNP/Ch). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the properties of this modified electrode. It was demonstrated that choline was covalently bounded on the surface of glassy carbon electrode, and deposited gold nanoparticles with average size of about 100 nm uniformly distributed on the surface of Ch. Moreover, the modified electrode exhibits strong electrochemical catalytic activity toward the oxidation of dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) with obviously reduction of overpotentials. For the ternary mixture containing DA, AA and UA, these three compounds can be well separated from each other, allowing simultaneously determination of DA and UA under coexistence of AA. The proposed method can be applied to detect DA and UA in real samples with satisfactory results.

Gold nanoparticles on a thiol-functionalized silica network for ascorbic acid electrochemical detection in presence of dopamine and uric acid

A simple preparation methodology able to stabilize gold nanoparticles and to obtain an electrode which detects ascorbic acid, uric acid, and dopamine by different techniques is presented. A 3-mercaptopropyl-functionalized silica network was synthesized using the sol–gel method. Gold nanoparticles (nAu) were immobilized on the material at synthesis by adding a sol of these previously prepared particles to the reaction mixture. The electrochemical behavior of the SiO₂/MPTS/Au carbon paste electrode was studied using cyclic voltammetry in the presence of a hexacyanoferrate probe molecule. The presence of nAu in the functionalized silica network changes the electrochemical characteristics of the material, favoring the electron transfer process of this complex ion. The SiO₂/MPTS/Au electrode was proven to be an efficient tool in the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid (H₂AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) using square wave voltammetry techniques. With the nAu on the electrode, an increase in the peak current related to the redox process of the H₂AA, DA, and UA was observed. The separations of the anodic peak potentials between DA/H₂AA and UA/H₂AA were 310 and 442?mV, respectively. The results obtained show that the SiO₂/MPTS/Au electrode can be used in the simultaneous determination of H₂AA, DA, and UA.

Gold nanoparticles solid contact for ion-selective electrodes of highly stable potential readings

Internal solution free ion-selective electrodes were prepared applying for the first time gold nanoparticles as a solid contact layer. The presence of a layer of gold nanoparticles stabilized with aliphatic thiols at the back side of the membrane resulted in highly stable potentiometric responses of the sensors, good selectivities and close to Nernstian slopes. Electrochemical studies have confirmed that the applied material is effectively working as capacitive solid contact, yielding high stability sensors.     

Glassy carbon electrodes modified with gold nanoparticles for the simultaneous determination of three food antioxidants

Electrochemical behavior of three antioxidants: butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroquinone (TBHQ), was investigated at a glassy carbon electrode modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/GCE). This electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results indicated that the modified electrode was strongly electroactive during the redox reactions of BHA, BHT and TBHQ, and this was confirmed by the observed increased redox peak currents and shifted potentials; in addition, the oxidation products of BHA and TBHQ were found to be the same. The experimental conditions were optimized and the oxidation peaks of BHA and BHT were clearly separated. Based on this, an electrochemical method was researched and developed for the simultaneous determination of BHA, BHT and TBHQ in mixtures with the use of first derivative voltammetry; the linear concentration ranges were 0.10–1.50 μg mL⁻¹, 0.20–2.20 μg mL⁻¹ and 0.20–2.80 μg mL⁻¹, and detection limits were 0.039, 0.080 and 0.079 μg mL⁻¹, for BHA, BHT and TBHQ, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the analysis of the three analytes in edible oil samples.

Glucose biosensor based on graphite electrodes modified with glucose oxidase and colloidal gold nanoparticles

The electrochemistry of glucose oxidase (GOx) immobilized on a graphite rod electrode modified by gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) was studied. Two types of amperometric glucose sensors based on GOx immobilized and Au-NPs modified working electrode (Au-NPs/GOx/graphite and GOx/Au-NPs/graphite) were designed and tested in the presence and the absence of N-methylphenazonium methyl sulphate in different buffers. Results were compared to those obtained with similar electrodes not containing Au-NPs (GOx/graphite). This study shows that the application of Au-NPs increases the rate of mediated electron transfer. Major analytical characteristics of the amperometric biosensor based on GOx and 13 nm diameter Au-NPs were determined. The analytical signal was linearly related to glucose concentration in the range from 0.1 to 10 mmol L^?1. The detection limit for glucose was found within 0.1 mmol L^?1 and 0.08 mmol L^?1 and the relative standard deviation in the range of 0.1–100 mol L^?1 was 0.04–0.39%. The τ_1/2 of V _max characterizes the storage stability of sensors: this parameter for the developed GOx/graphite electrode was 49.3 days and for GOx/Au-NPs/graphite electrode was 19.5 days. The sensor might be suitable for determination of glucose in beverages and/or in food.     

Recognition and determination of bovine hemoglobin using a gold electrode modified with gold nanoparticles and molecularly imprinted self-polymerized dopamine

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was prepared by self-polymerization of dopamine in the presence of bovine hemoglobin (BHb) and then deposited on the surface of an electrode modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry were employed to characterize the modified electrode using the hexacyanoferrate redox system as an electroactive probe. The effects of BHb concentration, dopamine concentration, and polymerization time were optimized. Under optimized conditions, the modified electrode selectively recognizes BHb even in the presence of other proteins. The peak current for hexacyanoferrate, typically measured at + 0.17 V (vs. SCE), depends on the concentration of BHb in the 1.0 × 10⁻¹¹ to 1.0 × 10⁻² mg mL⁻¹ range. Due to the ease of preparation and tight adherence of polydopamine to various support materials, the present strategy conceivably also provides a platform for the recognition and detection of other proteins.

Gold nanoparticles and molecularly imprinted self-polymerization dopamine were modified on gold electrode surface to recognize and determine bovine hemoglobin. Under the optimized conditions, the modified electrode showed specific adsorption, selective recognition, and sensitive detection of bovine hemoglobin.

Electrochemical behavior of gold electrodes modified with self-assembled monolayers with an acidic end group for selective detection of dopamine

Gold electrodes modified with monolayers with ionic end groups of different acidity and structure have been evaluated for the detection of dopamine. It has been demonstrated that the selectivity of monolayers depends not only on ionic charge but also on the nature of the ionic end group and defects in the monolayer. Catalytic effects due to the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid by dopamine are present at the monolayer modified gold electrode. The angle resolved XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) experiments demonstrate that the sulfonate group do not compete with thiol on binding the gold electrode. The capacitance measurements demonstrate that the capacitance depends on the length, end group type and defects present in monolayers.     

Flow-injection immuno-bioassay for interleukin-6 in humans based on gold nanoparticles modified screen-printed graphite electrodes

A flow-injection electrochemical immunoassay system based on a disposable immunosensor for the determination of interleukin-6 (IL-6) was proposed. The immunosensor was prepared by entrapping horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled IL-6 antibody into gold nanoparticles-modified composite membrane at a screen-printed graphite electrode. With a non-competitive immunoassay format, the immunosensor was inserted in the flow system with an injection of sample, and the injected sample containing IL-6 antigen was produced transparent immunoaffinity reaction with the immobilized HRP-labeled IL-6 antibody. The formed antigen–antibody complex inhibited partly the active center of HRP, and decreased the immobilized HRP to H₂O₂ reduction. The performance and factors influencing the performance of the immunosensor were investigated. Under optimal conditions, the current change obtained from the labeled HRP relative to thionine–H₂O₂ system was proportional to the IL-6 concentration in the range of 5–100 ng L⁻¹ with a detection limit of 1.0 ng L⁻¹ (at 3δ). The flow-injection immunoassay system could automatically control the incubation, washing and measurement steps with acceptable reproducibility and good stability. Moreover, the proposed immunosensors were used to analyze IL-6 in human serum specimens. Analytical results of clinical samples show the developed immunoassay has a promising alternative approach for detecting IL-6 in the clinical diagnosis.
