A promising electrochemical sensor was fabricated by the self-assembling of Pt nanoparticles (nano-Pts) on a chitosan (CS) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). A field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical techniques were used for characterization of these composites. It has been found that nano-Pts are inserted into the CS layer uniformly, and have a larger surface area compared to the chitosan modified glassy carbon electrode. Electrocatalytic experiments for the oxidation of nitrite and the reduction of iodate have shown that nano-Pts/CS/GCE can decrease the over-potential and increase the faradic current, which can be used for the sensitive determination of nitrite and iodate. Moreover, the prepared modified electrode exhibits good reproducibility and stability, and it is possible that this novel electrochemical sensor can be applied in the sensing and/or biosensing field. 相似文献
Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) were synthetized by a two-step reductive method using carbon (Vulcan XC-72) as a solid support. The NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission gun scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Their electrochemical performance was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and chronoamperometry, and these showed that the Co@Pt NPs display an electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of glucose that is much better than that of plain Pt NPs. Under optimized conditions and at pH 7.0, the oxidation current of glucose at a working potential of −50 mV (vs. SCE) is linearly related to its concentration in the 1.0 to 30 mM range, and the detection limit is 0.3 mM (S/N = 3). It therefore covers the clinical range. The sensor also exhibits excellent stability and repeatability.
Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) display an electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of glucose that is much better than that of plain Pt NPs. The oxidation current for glucose is linearly related to its concentration in the 1.0 to 30 mM range, and the detection limit is 0.3 mM (S/N =3).
An amperometric biosensor for sensitive and selective detection of glucose has been constructed by using highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes (Pt-MWCNTs) as sensing interface. The Pt-MWCNTs were synthesized by using the two-step pyrolysis method. This composite shows good electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of glucose in alkaline and thus can be used to selectively detect glucose. We found that detection potential and Nafion amount covered on the Pt-MWCNTs modified glassy carbon electrode had considerable influence on the selectivity for amperometric detection of glucose. Under optimal detection conditions (detection potential of 0.0 V versus SCE and 10 μL 1.5% Nafion), selective detection of glucose in the glucose concentration range of 1.0-26.5 mM (correlation coefficient, >0.999) can be performed. The results demonstrate that the Pt-MWCNTs composite is promising for the fabrication of nonenzymatic glucose sensors. 相似文献
A novel glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOx) on Ag nanoparticles-decorated multiwalled carbon nanotube (AgNP-MWNT) modified glass carbon electrode (GCE). The AgNP-MWNT composite membrane showed an improving biocompatibility for GOx immobilization and an enhancing electrocatalytic activity toward reduction of oxygen due to decoration of AgNPs on MWNT surfaces. The AgNPs also accelerated the direct electron transfer between redox-active site of GOx and GCE surface because of their excellent conductivity and large capacity for protein loading, leading to direct electrochemistry of GOx. The glucose biosensor of this work showed a lower limit of detection of 0.01 mM (S/N?=?3) and a wide linear range from 0.025 to 1.0 mM, indicating an excellent analytical performance of the obtained biosensor to glucose detection. The resulting biosensor exhibits good stability and excellent reproducibility. Such bionanocomposite provides us good candidate material for fabrication of biosensors based on direct electrochemistry of immobilized enzymes. 相似文献
The authors describe a method for the fabrication of a nanohybrid composed of carbon dots (C-dots) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by in-situ reduction of C-dots and hydroauric acid under alkaline conditions. The process does not require the presence of surfactant, stabilizing agent, or reducing agent. The hybrid material was deposited in a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and the modified GCE exhibited good electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of nitrite due to the synergistic effects between carbon dots and AuNPs. The findings were used to develop an amperometric sensor for nitrite. The sensor shows a linear response in the concentration range from 0.1 μmol?L-1 to 2 mmol?L-1 and a low detection limit of 0.06 μmol?L-1 at the signal-to-noise ratio of 3.
Graphical abstract Fabrication, characterization and electrochemical behavior of a glassy carbon electrode modifid with carbon dots and gold nanoparticles for sensing nitrite in lake water.
A novel glucose biosensor is presented as that based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNs) and glucose oxidase. The sensor exhibits a better differential pulse voltammetric response towards glucose than the one based on conventional gold nanoparticles of the same size. This is attributed to the good biological conductivity and biocompatibility of HGNs. Under the optimal conditions, the sensor displays a linear range from 2.0?×?10?6 to 4.6?×?10?5?M of glucose, with a detection limit of 1.6?×?10?6?M (S/N?=?3). Good reproducibility, stability and no interference make this biosensor applicable to the determination of glucose in samples such as sports drinks.

In the present paper, the use of a novel carbon paste electrode modified by N,N′(2,3-dihydroxybenzylidene)-1,4-phenylene diamine (DHBPD) and TiO2 nanoparticles prepared by a simple and rapid method for the determination of hydrazine (HZ) was described. In the first part
of the work, cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the redox properties of this modified electrode at various solution
pH values and at various scan rates. A linear segment was found with a slope value of about 48 mV/pH in the pH range 2.0–12.0.
The apparent charge transfer rate constant (ks) and transfer coefficient (α) for electron transfer between DHBPD and TiO2 nanoparticles-modified carbon paste electrode were calculated. In the second part of the work, the mediated oxidation of
HZ at the modified electrode was described. It has been found that under optimum condition (pH 8.0) in cyclic voltammetry,
a high decrease in overpotential occurs for oxidation of HZ at the modified electrode. The values of electron transfer coefficients
(α) and diffusion coefficient (D) were calculated for HZ, using electrochemical approaches. Differential pulse voltammetry exhibited a linear dynamic range
from 1.0 × 10−8 to 4.0 × 10−6 M and a detection limit (3σ) of 9.15 nM for HZ. Finally, this method was used for the determination of HZ in water samples, using standard addition method. 相似文献
A phenol biosensor was developed based on the immobilization of tyrosinase on the surface of modified magnetic MgFe2O4 nanoparticles. The tyrosinase was first covalently immobilized to core-shell (MgFe2O4-SiO2) magnetic nanoparticles, which were modified with amino group on its surface. The resulting magnetic bio-nanoparticles were attached to the surface of carbon paste electrode (CPE) with the help of a permanent magnet. The immobilization matrix provided a good microenvironment for the retaining of the bioactivity of tyrosinase. Phenol was determined by the direct reduction of biocatalytically generated quinone species at −150 mV versus SCE. The resulting phenol biosensor could reach 95% of steady-state current within 20 s and exhibited a high sensitivity of 54.2 μA/mM, which resulted from the high tyrosinase loading of the immobilization matrix. The linear range for phenol determination was from 1 × 10−6 to 2.5 × 10−4 M with a detection limit of 6.0 × 10−7 M obtained at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The stability and the application of the biosensor were also evaluated. 相似文献
Polyelectrolytes with various characteristic functional groups as interlinkers to anchor Pt nanoparticles were used to functionalize carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as Pt electrocatalyst support. It was found that polyanions (poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (PSS), and poly(acrylic acid sodium) (PAA)) have a beneficial effect on methanol electrooxidation on Pt nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes via modifying their electronic structure through charge transfer from polyanions to Pt sites and supply of oxygen-containing species. The increased electron density around Pt sites by the charge transfer from polyanions would cause partial filling of Pt 5d-bands, resulting in the downshift of d-band center and weaker chemisorption with oxygen-containing species (e.g. COad). The weakened chemisorption of CO on Pt nanoparticles would promote the methanol electrooxidation. On the contrary, polycations would have an opposite effect on the electronic structure and chemisorption properties of Pt nanoparticles. 相似文献
Methanol is used as a fuel in the direct methanol fuel cell. Direct oxidation of methanol encounters large overvoltages at
most unmodified electrode surfaces. The development of new procedures for electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol to decrease
this overvoltage is therefore very desirable. In this paper, we report a new zeolite-modified carbon paste electrode based
on Ni-ZSM-5 for methanol electrooxidation. Nanocrystallites of ZSM-5 (Si/Al of 50) with average particle size of 58 nm were
synthesized using clear solutions at low temperature (90 °C) under atmospheric pressure. Ni(II) ions were incorporated into
the zeolite by immersion of the modified carbon paste electrode with synthesized zeolite in a 1.0 M nickel chloride solution.
Cyclic voltammetry showed that by using nano-sized zeolite, the oxidation current increased compared with that of micron-sized
zeolite crystallites. 相似文献
