An Enzyme‐free H2O2 Sensor Based on Poly(2‐Aminophenylbenzimidazole)/Gold Nanoparticles Coated Pencil Graphite Electrode

A poly(2‐aminophenylbenzimidazole)/gold nanoparticles (P2AB/AuNPs) coated disposable pencil graphite electrode (PGE) was fabricated as an enzyme‐free sensor for the H₂O₂ determination. P2AB/AuNPs and P2AB were successfully synthesized electrochemically on PGE in acetonitrile for the first time. The coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy, Energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and UV‐Vis spectroscopy. AuNPs interacted with P2AB as carrier enhances the electrocatalytic activity towards reduction of H₂O₂. The analytical performance was evaluated in a 100 mM phosphate buffer solution at pH 6.5 by amperometry. The steady state current vs. H₂O₂ concentration is linear in the range of 0.06 to 100 mM (R²=0.992) with a limit of detection 3.67×10^?5 M at ?0.8 V vs. SCE and no interference is caused by ascorbic acid, dopamine, uric acid, and glucose. The examination for the sensitive determination of H₂O₂ was conducted in commercially available hair oxidant solution. The results demonstrate that P2AB/AuNPs/PGE has potential applications as a sensing material for quantitative determination of H₂O₂.

Direct and Cytochrome c Mediated Electrochemistry of Bilirubin Oxidase on Gold

Direct electron transfer (DET) of bilirubin oxidase from Myrothecium verrucaria (BOD) was established on promoter‐modified gold electrodes. The electrochemical behavior of the enzyme in solution was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry evaluating the biocatalytic reduction of dioxygen. The reaction of BOD at Au electrodes was shown to be efficient only at low pH. In addition, a novel interaction between BOD and cytochrome c (cyt.c) was found. It was shown that BOD efficiently accepts cyt.c as an electron donor in both cases when cyt.c is in solution and electrostatically adsorbed. The results suggest that cyt.c can play the role of a mediator facilitating electron transfer in a pH range where no DET could be observed between the enzyme and the electrode. For the interaction between cyt.c and BOD in solution the reaction kinetics has been studied electrochemically and spectrophotometrically.     

A New Electrochemical Biosensor for Determination of Hydrogen Peroxide in Food Based on Well‐Dispersive Gold Nanoparticles on Graphene Oxide

Herein, we describe a new method for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in food by using an electrochemical biosensor. Initially, ultrafine gold nanoparticles dispersed on graphene oxide (AuNP‐GO) were synthesized by the redox reaction between AuCl₄^? and GO, and thionine‐catalase conjugates were then assembled onto the AuNP‐GO surface on a glassy carbon electrode. With the aid of the AuNP‐GO, the as‐prepared biosensor exhibited good electrocatalytic efficiency toward the reduction of H₂O₂ in pH 5.8 acetic acid buffer. Under optimal conditions, the dynamic responses of the biosensor toward H₂O₂ were achieved in the range from 0.1 µM to 2.3 mM, and the detection limit (LOD) was 0.01 µM at 3s_B. The Michaelis–Menten constant was measured to be 0.98 mM. In addition, the repeatability, reproducibility, selectivity and stability of the biosensor were investigated and evaluated in detail. Finally, the method was applied for sensing H₂O₂ in spiked or naturally contaminated samples including sterilized milk, apple juices, watermelon juice, coconut milk, and mango juice, receiving good correspondence with the results from the permanganate titration method. The disposable biosensor could offer a great potential for rapid, cost‐effective and on‐field analysis of H₂O₂ in foodstuff.

Voltammetric Determination of Sophoridine Based on Gold Nanoparticles/L‐cysteine/ Graphene Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

A new strategy to make the electrochemical sensor was presented, through combining gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via L‐cysteine (L‐cys) as crosslinker. The resulting electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical methods. And it was applied to develop a high‐sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination of sophoridine.

Electrochemical Study and Application on Shikonin at Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) Functionalized Graphene Sheets Modified Glass Carbon Electrode

The electrochemical behaviors of shikonin at a poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) functionalized graphene sheets modified glass carbon electrode(PDDA-GS/GCE) have been investigated. Shikonin could exhibit a pair of well-defined redox peaks at the PDDA-GS/GCE located at 0.681 V(E_pa) and 0.662 V(E_pc)[vs. saturated calomel electrode(SCE)] in 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer solution(pH=2.0) with a peak-to-peak separation of about 20 mV, revealing a fast electron-transfer process. Moreover, the current response was remarkably increased at PDDA-GS/GCE compared with that at the bare GCE. The electrochemical behaviors of shikonin at the modified electrode were investigated. And the results indicate that the reaction involves the transfer of two electrons, accompanied by two protons and the electrochemical process is a diffusional-controlled electrode process. The electrochemical parameters of shikonin at the modified electrode, the electron-transfer coefficient(α), the electron-transfer number(n) and the electrode reaction rate constant(k_s) were calculated to be as 0.53, 2.18 and 3.6 s^-1, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the peak current of differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) increased linearly with the shikonin concentration in a range from 9.472×10^-8 mol/L to 3.789×10^-6 mol/L with a detection limit of 3.157×10^-8 mol/L. The linear regression equation was I_p=0.7366c+0.7855(R=0.9978; I_p: 10^-7 A, c: 10^-8 mol/L). In addition, the modified glass carbon electrode also exhibited good stability, selectivity and acceptable reproducibility that could be used for the sensitive, simple and rapid determination of shikonin in real samples. Therefore, the present work offers a new way to broaden the analytical application of graphene in pharmaceutical analysis.

Direct Electrochemistry of Cytochrome c on a Silica Sol‐Gel Film Modified Electrode

Dilute silica sol‐gel was simply dropped on the surface of a basal plane graphite electrode (BPGE) to form a silica sol‐gel film modified electrode. Direct electrochemical response of cytochrome c (Cyt c) on the modified electrode was observed by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results suggested that Cyt c could be tightly adsorbed on the surface of the silica sol‐gel film modified electrode. A couple of well‐defined and nearly reversible redox peaks can be observed in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0), which anodic and cathodic peak potentials were at ?0.243 and ?0.306 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), respectively. Cyt c adsorbed on the surface of silica sol‐gel film shows a remarkable electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of oxygen. Based on these, a third‐generation biosensor could be constructed to detect the concentration of oxygen in aqueous solution.

Nonionic surfactant‐capped gold nanoparticles for selective enrichment of aminothiols prior to CE with UV absorption detection

In this study, we describe the use of Tween 20‐capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as selective probes for the extraction of aminothiols from an aqueous solution. Tween 20 molecules noncovalently attached to the surface of AuNPs to form Tween 20–AuNPs were used for the selective extraction of aminothiols through the formation of Au–S bonds. After extraction and centrifugation, the aminothiols were detached from the surface of the AuNPs by adding DTT in a high concentration. We used this probe in combination with CE and UV absorption detection. On‐line concentration and separation of the released aminothiols were performed by using 1.6% v/v poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) as an additive in CE. Under optimal extraction and stacking conditions, the LOD at a S/N of 3 were 28, 554, and 456 nM for glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), and homocysteine (HCys), respectively. In comparison with the normal injection without the extraction procedure, approximately 2280‐, 998‐, and 904‐fold improvements in the sensitivity were observed for GSH, Cys, and HCys, respectively. We have validated the application of our method on the basis of the analysis of GSH and HCys in human urine samples. It is believed that this approach has significant potential to be extended to clinical diagnosis.
