Electropolymerized Diphenylamine on Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composite Film and Its Application to Develop a Multifunctional Biosensor

Diphenylamine (DPA) monomers have been electropolymerized on the amino‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (AFCNT) composite film modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The surface morphology of PDPA‐AFCNT was studied using field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM). The interfacial electron transfer phenomenon at the modified electrode was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The PDPA‐AFCNT/GCE represented a multifunctional sensor and showed good electrocatalytic behavior towards the oxidation of catechol and the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Rotating‐disk electrode technique was applied to detect catechol with a sensitivity of 1360 µA mM^?1 cm^?2 and a detection limit of 0.01 mM. Amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide at the PDPA‐AFCNT film modified electrode results in a linear range from 10 to 800 µM, a sensitivity of 487.1 µA mM^?1 cm^?2 and detection limit of 1 µM. These results show that the nano‐composite film modified electrode can be utilized to develop a multifunctional sensor.     

Amperometric Biosensor for Hydrogen Peroxide Based on Myoglobin Doped Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Enhanced Grafted Collagen Matrix

Abstract

A reagentless H₂O₂ sensor based on the direct electron transfer of myoglobin (Mb) doped in multiwalled carbon nanotubes enhanced grafted collagen matrix is proposed. The formal potential of the immobilized Mb was ?0.358 V with a surface coverage of 4.0×10^?10 mol cm^?2. The electrode process was surface‐controlled with an electron transfer rate constant of 9.7 s^?1. The proposed biosensor displayed an excellent electrocatalytic response to the reduction of H₂O₂ with a linear range from 0.6 to 39.0 µM. Owing to the good biocompatibility and high enzyme loading of the matrix the biosensor exhibited acceptable stability and reproducibility.     

A Nitrite Biosensor Based on the Direct Electron Transfer of Hemoglobin Immobilized on Carboxyl‐Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes/Polyimide Composite

The high electrically conductive carboxyl‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (COOH‐MWCNTs) were used to combine with nonconducting polyimide (PI) to generate a PI/COOH‐MWCNTs membrane. PI served as a matrix to entrap COOH‐MWCNTs and hemoglobin (Hb). COOH‐MWCNTs can improve the conductivity of the composite. The direct electrochemistry measurement indicated that the PI/COOH‐MWCNTs composite enhanced the immobilization of Hb significantly. Besides, the Hb/PI/COOH‐MWCNTs/GCE biosensor possessed excellent electrocatalytic activity for the detection of nitrite. Therefore, PI is a good matrix for Hb immobilization and it has application in sensor construction. This work is promising in the development of sensitive biosensors based on PI/COOH‐MWCNTs composite film.

In this work, a sensitive, practical and reliable acetylthiocholine (ATCh) biosensor based on poly(allylamine hydrochloride) functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (PAH/MWCNT) was fabricated and used for pesticide detection. As far as we know, this is the first work that constitutes the usage of PAH and MWCNT for ATCh biosensor. The developed system was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The influence of parameters such as enzyme amount and pH were examined and a linearity between 5×10^?5 M?2.0×10^?3 M for ATCh was obtained. The proposed biosensor was applied for a model pesticide, monocrotophos, detection. The analytical curve showed an excellent linearity in the monocrotophos concentration range of 1–25 pg/mL with an incubation time of 5 min. Limit of detection and limit of quantification values were calculated as 0.88 and 2.9 pg/mL, respectively. The system was also applied for detection of monocrotophos in grape, tomatoe, tap and mineralized water samples and promising recovery values were obtained.

A Simple Layer‐by‐Layer Assembly Strategy for a Reagentless Biosensor Based on a Nanocomposite of Methylene Blue‐Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

A simple layer‐by‐layer (LBL) assembly strategy was established for constructing a novel reagentless biosensor based on a nanocomposite of methylene blue multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MB‐MWNTs). A nanocomposite of MB‐MWNTs was obtained by direct premixing and possessed good dispersion in barbital‐HCl buffer. Through electrostatic interactions, the nanocomposite of MB‐MWNTs could alternately be assembled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on the Au electrode modified with precursor films. UV/Vis spectra and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to reveal the formation of the nanocomposite of MB‐MWNTs. The LBL assembly process was also verified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The MB is a well‐established mediator and efficiently facilitated the electron shuttle between the HRP and the electrode, as demonstrated by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The as‐prepared reagentless biosensor exhibited a fast response for the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and reached 95% of the steady‐state current within 3 s. It was found that the linear response range of the reagentless biosensor for H₂O₂ was from 4.0 μM to 3.78 mM with a detection limit of 1.0 μM and a sensitivity of 22.5 μA mM⁻¹. The biosensor exhibited a high reproducibility and stability.

The electrooxidation of epinephrine (EPI) and piroxicam (PRX) has been investigated by application of nickel hydroxide nanoparticles/multiwalled carbon nanotubes composite electrode (MWCNTs‐NHNPs/GCE) using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperometry (CA) methods. The modified electrode showed suitable electrochemical responses for EPI and PRX determination. Under the optimum conditions the electrode provides a linear response versus EPI and PRX concentrations in the range of 1–220 µM and 0.7–75 µM, respectively using the DPV method. Linear responses versus EPI and PRX concentrations in the range of 1–1000 µM and 1–800 µM, respectively, were obtained using the CA method. The modified electrode was used for determination of EPI and PRX in human urine with satisfactory results.     

Platinum Nanoparticles Decorated Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes – Ionic Liquid Composite Film Coated Glassy Carbon Electrodes for Sensitive Determination of Theophylline

Platinum nanoparticles (Pt_nano) decorated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)–1‐octyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([omim][PF₆]) composite material (MWCNTs‐Pt_nano‐[omim][PF₆]) was fabricated and characterized for the first time. In the presence of [omim][PF₆], more Pt_nano could deposit on MWCNTs. The average diameter of the deposited Pt_nano was about 5 nm. The composite material film coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) exhibited sensitive voltammetric response to theophylline (TP). Under the optimized conditions (i.e., preconcentration for 2 minutes on open circuit in 0.10 M pH 3.0 phosphate buffer), the anodic peak current of TP at about 1.1 V (vs. SCE) was linear to TP concentration over the range of 1.0×10^?8–1.0×10^?5 M. The detection limit was estimated to be 8.0×10^?9 M. The modified electrode was successfully applied to the determination of TP in medicine tablet and green tea. In addition, the voltammetric responses of hypoxanthine (HX), xanthine (Xan) and uric acid (UA) on the MWCNTs‐Pt_nano‐[omim][PF₆]/GCE were also discussed.     

Simple and Sensitive Assay for Nucleic Acids Using their Quenching Effect on the Chemiluminescence Reaction Between Luminol and Hydrogen Peroxide with Manganese-Tetrasulfonatophthalocyanine as a New Catalyst

The manganese-tetrasulfonatophthalo-cyanine (MnTSPc) catalyzed luminol-hydrogen peroxide chemiluminescence (CL) system can be quenched in the presence of nucleic acids. A new and highly sensitive CL quenching method for determining nucleic acids in aqueous solutions has been developed. Under optimum conditions, linear relationships were found between the quenched intensity of CL and the concentration of nucleic acids in the range 0.10–2.0µgmL^–1 for calf thymus DNA and 0–1.6µgmL^–1 for fish sperm DNA. The limits of detection were 14.8ngmL^–1 for calf thymus DNA and 21.7ngmL^–1 for fish sperm DNA. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of nine replicate measurements is 1.4% for 1.0µgmL^–1 calf thymus DNA. The method was applied to the analysis of nucleic acids in synthetic samples and the results are satisfactory.Received December 2, 2002; accepted June 2, 2003 published online September 1, 2003

Optical and Bioelectrochemical Characterization of Water‐Miscible Ionic Liquids Based Composites of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Acidic treated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (AMWNTs) were ground with water‐miscible room temperature ionic liquids, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF₄), and resulted in AMWNTs‐[bmim]BF₄ composite. Its electrical‐ionic conductivity and optical properties were compared with the other two types of carbon materials‐[bmim]BF₄ composites: pyrolytic graphite powder (PGP), pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PMWNTs), through the ac impedance technology and Raman spectroscopy. The impedance data show that AMWNTs‐[bmim]BF₄ composite exhibits the highest conductivity. Raman spectra study exhibits that the [bmim]BF₄ can form gel with PMWNTs and AMWNTs but only form a viscous liquid with PGP. AMWNTs‐[bmim]BF₄ gel modified GC electrode was applied in direct electrochemistry of heme proteins (Hb and HRP) and it catalysis to the reduction of H₂O₂ was investigated.

In addition, the DNA biosensor showed an excellent reproducibility and stability under the DNA‐hybridization conditions.     

Some Properties of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Electrode and Its Application on Detection of Dopamine in the Presence of Ascorbic Acid

A sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) electrode (SDS/MWNTs) was successfully constructed in this study. The electrochemical property of the SDS/MWNTs electrode has been characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Nyquist plots suggest that the immersion time of SDS affects the resistances of the MWNTs electrodes. The thickness of adsorbed SDS on MWNTs surface is estimated to be 1.23 nm, which is close to the value of SDS monolayer. CV results demonstrate a 5‐fold enhanced response for dopamine (DA) at the SDS/MWNTs electrode compared to the bare MWNTs one. DPV results illustrate that DA can be selectively determined in the presence of high concentration ascorbic acid (AA) with a linear range from 20 μM to 0.20 mM and a sensitivity of 0.024 μA μM^?1 at the SDS/MWNTs electrode.     

Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes‐Chitosan Modified Single‐Use Biosensors for Electrochemical Monitoring of Drug‐DNA Interactions

A multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT)‐chitosan (CHIT) modified pencil graphite electrode (CNT‐CHIT/PGE) was developed for the first time herein for electrochemical monitoring of the interaction of an anticancer drug, mitomycin C (MC) and DNA. The characterization of unmodified PGE, CHIT/PGE, CNT/PGE and CHIT‐CNT/PGE were performed by scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry techniques. The oxidation signals of MC and guanine were measured before and after interaction at the surface of CNT‐CHIT/PGEs using differential pulse voltammetry. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique was also successfully utilized for monitoring of the interaction process at the surface of CNT‐CHIT/PGEs in different interaction times.     

Non-Covalent Integration of a [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Mimic to Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Surface integration of molecular catalysts inspired from the active sites of hydrogenase enzymes represents a promising route towards developing noble metal-free and sustainable technologies for H₂ production. Efficient and stable catalyst anchoring is a key aspect to enable this approach. Herein, we report the preparation and electrochemical characterization of an original diironhexacarbonyl complex including two pyrene groups per catalytic unit in order to allow for its smooth integration, through π-interactions, onto multiwalled carbon nanotube-based electrodes. In this configuration, the grafted catalyst could reach turnover numbers for H₂ production (TON_H2) of up to 4±2×10³ within 20 h of bulk electrolysis, operating at neutral pH. Post operando analysis of catalyst functionalized electrodes revealed the degradation of the catalytic unit occurred via loss of the iron carbonyl units, while the anchoring groups and most part of the ligand remained attached onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes.     

Comparison of the Enrichment Efficiency of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes, C18 Silica, and Activated Carbon as the Adsorbents for the Solid Phase Extraction of Atrazine and Simazine in Water Samples

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes with exceptional merits as SPE adsorbents for enrichment of environmental pollutants have absorbed much attention. The goal of this paper was to make a comparison with it and regular adsorbents such as C18 silica and activated carbon in the extraction capacity of atrazine and simazine. The results indicated that multiwalled carbon nanotubes were very suitable for determination of atrazine and simazine because of an enrichment performance similar to that of C18 silica. In contrast, the spiked recovery of simazine was higher than that of atrazine using multiwalled carbon nanotubes as packing material for SPE. However, reverse results were obtained when the extraction was performed with packing of C18 silica. Moreover, as the extraction of simazine was concerned, multiwalled carbon nanotubes were much better than C18 silica. As for the enrichment of atrazine, C18 silica achieved greater extraction factor than multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Activated carbon did not give the expected extraction efficiency because of its large size and blank volume and less active sites for adsorption. All these experimental results indicated that multiwalled carbon nanotubes could be used as a valuable alternative adsorbent for SPE of atrazine and simazine in many real water samples.     

Carboxylated,Fe‐Filled Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Versatile Catalysts for O2 Reduction and H2 Evolution Reactions at Physiological pH

The development of new electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at physiological pH is critical for several fields, including fuel cells and biological applications. Herein, the assembly of an electrode based on carboxyl‐functionalised hydrophilic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) filled with Fe phases and their excellent performance as electrocatalysts for ORR and HER at physiological pH are reported. The encapsulated Fe dramatically enhances the catalytic activity, and the graphitic shells play a double role of efficiently mediating the electron transfer to O₂ and H₂O reactants and providing a cocoon that prevents uncontrolled Fe oxidation or leaching.
