The third generation amperometric biosensor for the determination of hydrogen peroxide （H2O2） has been described. For the fabrication of biosensor, o-aminobenzoic acid （oABA） was first electropolymerized on the surface of platinum （Pt） electrode as an electrostatic repulsion layer to reject interferences. Horseradish peroxidase （HRP） absorbed by nano-scaled particulate gold （nano-Au） was immobilized on the electrode modified with polymerized o-aminobenzoic acid （poABA） with L-cysteine as a linker to prepare a biosensor for the detection of H2O2. Amperometric detection of H2O2 was realized at a potential of ＋20 mV versus SCE. The resulting biosensor exhibited fast response, excellent reproducibility and sensibility, expanded linear range and low interferences. Temperature and pH dependence and stability of the sensor were investigated. The optimal sensor gave a linear response in the range of 2.99×10^-6 to 3.55×10^-3 mol·L^-1 to H2O2 with a sensibility of 0.0177 A·L^-1·mol^-1 and a detection limit （S/N = 3） of 4.3×10^-7 mol·L^-1.

The highly efficient H₂O₂ biosensor was fabricated on the basis of the complex films of hemoglobin (Hb), nano ZnO, chitosan (CHIT) dispersed solution and nano Au immobilized on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Biocompatible ZnO‐CHIT composition provided a suitable microenvironment to keep Hb bioactivity (Michaelis‐Menten constant of 0.075 mmol L^?1). The presence of nano Au in matrix could effectively enhance electron transfer between Hb and electrode. The electrochemical behaviors and effects of solution pH values were carefully examined in this paper. The (ZnO‐CHIT)‐Au‐Hb/GCE demonstrated excellently electrocatalytical ability for H₂O₂.

The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of the modified electrode showed the electron transfer resistance was 1166 Ω. Investigation results of cyclic voltammetrys showed a pair of well‐defined and quasireversible redox peak of Hb with the formal potentials of ‐0.295 V (vs. SCE) in 0.1 mol·L^‐1 pH 7.0 PBS; the response time of the reduction peak currents of Hb was lower than 3s; a linear range for determination of H₂O₂ was from 5.0 μmol·L^‐1 to 1.3 mmol·L^‐1 with a detection limit of 1.6 μmol·L^‐1 (S/N = 3) and a sensitivity of 0.16 A·M^‐1·cm^‐2; the electron transfer rate constant and the apparent Michaelis‐Menten constant of Hb were 1.98 s^‐1 and 0.81 mmol·L^‐1, respectively. As a result, the case of the one‐step co‐electrodeposition and the promising feature of biocomposite could serve as a versatile platform for the fabrication of electrochemical biosensors.

An H2O2 Biosensor Based on Immobilization of Horseradish Peroxidase Labeled Nano‐Au in Silica Sol‐Gel/Alginate Composite Film

Abstract

A novel approach to assemble an H₂O₂ amperometric biosensor was introduced. The biosensor was constructed by entrapping horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeled nano‐scaled particulate gold (nano‐Au) (HRP‐nano‐Au electrostatic composite) in a new silica sol‐gel/alginate hybrid film using glassy carbon electrode as based electrode. This suggested strategy fully merged the merits of sol‐gel derived inorganic‐organic composite film and the nano‐Au intermediator. The silica sol‐gel/alginate hybrid material can improve the properties of conventional sol‐gel material and effectively prevent cracking of film. The entrapment of HRP in the form of HRP‐nano‐Au can not only factually prevent the leaking of enzyme out of the film but also provide a favorable microenvironment for HRP. With hydroquinone as an electron mediator, the proposed HRP electrode exhibited good catalytic activity for the reduction of H₂O₂. The parameters affecting both the qualities of sol‐gel/alginate hybrid film and the biosensor response were optimized. The biosensor exhibited high sensitivity of 0.40 Al mol^?1 cm^?2 for H₂O₂ over a wide linear range of concentration from 1.22×10^?5 to 1.46×10^?3 mol L^?1, rapid response of <5 s and a detection limit of 0.61×10^?6 mol L^?1. The enzyme electrode has remarkable stability and retained 86% of its initial activity after 45 days of storage in 0.1 mol L^?1 Tris‐HCl buffer solutions at pH 7.     

An Organic Sol‐Gel Film as Modifier to Construct Biosensor

A new amperometric biosensor for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was developed by adsorbing hemoglobin (Hb) on an organic sol‐gel film. The organic sol‐gel was prepared using resorcinol and formaldehyde as monomers. This sol‐gel film shows a biocompatible microenvironment for retaining the native activity of the adsorbed Hb. The direct electron transfer between Hb and electrode is achieved. Hb adsorbed on the film shows an enzyme‐like catalytic activity for the reduction of H₂O₂. The reduction peak currents are proportional linearly to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the range of 6×10^?8 to 3.6×10^?6 M, with a detection limit of 2.4×10^?8 M (S/N=3). This research enlarges the applications of organic sol‐gel materials in biosensor field.     

Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis of a Nafion/Nano‐CaCO3/Hb Film Modified Carbon Ionic Liquid Electrode Using BMIMPF6 as Binder

In this paper a room temperature ionic liquid 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIMPF₆) was used as binder for the construction of carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) and a new electrochemical biosensor was developed for determination of H₂O₂ by immobilization of hemoglobin (Hb) in the composite film of Nafion/nano‐CaCO₃ on the surface of CILE. The Hb modified electrode showed a pair of well‐defined, quasi‐reversible redox peaks with E_pa and E_pc as ?0.265 V and ?0.470 V (vs. SCE). The formal potential (E°′) was got by the midpoint of E_pa and E_pc as ?0.368 V, which was the characteristic of Hb Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. The peak to peak separation was 205 mV in pH 7.0 Britton–Robinson (B–R) buffer solution at the scan rate of 100 mV/s. The direct electrochemistry of Hb in the film was carefully investigated and the electrochemical parameters of Hb on the modified electrode were calculated as α=0.487 and k_s=0.128 s^?1. The Nafion/nano‐CaCO₃/Hb film electrode showed good electrocatalysis to the reduction of H₂O₂ in the linear range from 8.0 to 240.0 μmol/L and the detection limit as 5.0 μmol/L (3σ). The apparent Michaelis–Menten constant (K_M^app) was estimated to be 65.7 μmol/L. UV‐vis absorption spectroscopy and FT‐IR spectroscopy showed that Hb in the Nafion/nano‐CaCO₃ composite film could retain its native structure.     

Direct Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis of the Hemoglobin Immobilized on Diazonium‐Functionalized Aligned Carbon Nanotubes Electrode

A simple and efficient electrochemical method is utilized to functionalize aligned carbon nanotubes (ACNTs) by the electrochemical reduction of 4‐carboxyphenyl diazonium salt. Thus hemoglobin (Hb) molecules were covalently immobilized on the diazonium‐ACNTs surface via carbodiimide chemistry. Direct electrochemistry and bioelectrocatalytic activity of the immobilized Hb were then investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometry techniques. It is showed that the Hb film on the diazonium‐ACNTs electrode had well‐defined redox peaks with a formal potential (E°) at ?312 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl), and the Hb‐ACNTs electrode displayed good electrocatalytic activity to H₂O₂ reduction. Owing to the high Hb covering on the ACNTs surface (Γ*=2.7×10^?9 mol cm^?2), the catalytic current were significantly improved when compared to the current measured at an Hb‐tangled carbon nanotubes electrode. The Hb‐ACNTs electrode exhibited high sensitivity, long‐term stability and wide concentration range from 40 μM to 3 mM for the amperometric detection of H₂O₂. The heterogeneous reaction rate constant (k_s) was 0.95±0.05 s^?1 and the apparent Michaelis–Menten constant (K was 0.15 mM.     

One‐Step Electrodeposited Carbon Nanotube/Zirconia/Myoglobin Film for Direct Electron Transfer and Electrocatalysis

A nanobiocomposite film consisted of zirconia, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and Myoglobin (Mb) was electrochemically deposited on the electrode. Direct electron transfer for the immobilized Mb was realized and high electrocatalytic efficiency toward H₂O₂ was observed. The proposed biosensor via a simple one‐step electrodeposition method displayed a broader linear range and a lower detection limit for H₂O₂, as compared with those CNT or ZrO₂ based biosensor. The linear range is from 2 × 10^?6 M to 1 × 10^?3 M with the detection limit of 6 × 10^?7 M. The present strategy provides a simple and effective method to assemble CNT, ZrO₂ and enzyme nanohybrid on the electrode and expands the scope of CNT‐based electrochemical devices.

A biocompatible nanocomposite film was fabricated for hemoglobin (Hb) molecules immobilization. This film consists of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), 1‐pyrenebutanoic acid, succinimidyl ester (PASE), hemoglobin (Hb) and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). Herein, PASE molecules physically adsorbed onto MWNTs, and its groups then covalently bond with Hb. AuNPs were then linked with Hb/PASE/MWNTs via electrostatic adsorption force. UV‐visible adsorption spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectra, scanning electron microscope and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have characterized the film. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) scans showed that in the film Hb has well‐defined redox reaction, with the formal potential (E°) at about ?0.27 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Herein, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed to electrochemically detect the Hb in the film with a detection limit of 9.3×10^?8 M. The proposed method was also succeeded for Hb detection in clinical blood samples. Furthermore, the Hb in the film showed good electrocatalytic activities to the reduction of H₂O₂, TCA, NaNO₂ and O₂.

Multilayer Assembly of Hemoglobin and Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles on Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes/Chitosan Composite for Detecting Hydrogen Peroxide

Chitosan (CS) was chosen for dispersing multi‐wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to form a stable CS‐MWNTs composite, which was first coated on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode to provide a containing amino groups interface for assembling colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs), followed by the adsorption of hemoglobin (Hb). Repeating the assembly step of GNPs and Hb resulted in {Hb/GNPs}_n multilayers. The assembly of GNPs onto CS‐MWNTs composites was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. The consecutive growth of {Hb/GNPs}_n multilayers was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry and UV‐vis absorption spectroscopy. The resulting system brings a new platform for electrochemical devices by using the synergistic action of the electrocatalytic activity of GNPs and MWNTs. The resulting biosensor displays an excellent electrocatalytic activity and rapid response for hydrogen peroxide. The linear range for the determination of H₂O₂ was from 5.0×10^?7 to 2.0×10^?3 M with a detection limit of 2.1×10^?7 M at 3σ and a Michaelis–Menten constant K_M^app value of 0.19 mM.     

Electrochemiluminescence of SDBS‐Ru(bpy)32+‐CPM System and Its Application

When the concentration of dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid sodium salt (SDBS) is 0.7 mmol·L^?1, the electrochemical and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity of Ru(bpy)₃²⁺‐chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) system at the Au electrode were studied. The results showed that compared with the absence of SDBS, enhancement of the ECL intensity was 14‐fold at Au electrode. Base on this, an ECL method was established for efficient and simple determination of CPM at Au electrode. Under the optimum experimental condition, the enhanced ECL intensities had good linear relationship with the concentration of CPM in the range of 1.0×10^?4–1.0×10^?7 mol·L^?1, and a linear regression equation was obtained as follows: I (counts)=48.805×10⁶c+394.03 (r=0.9975), the detection limit for CPM was 1.4×10^?8 mol·L^?1. The RSD for 5 times determinations of 1.0×10^?5 mol·L^?1 CPM was 3.2%. The results of recovery test were between 96.3%–102.5%, and the RSD of recovery test (n=5) was 2.7%. In addition, eleven kinds of tertiary amines‐Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ systems were investigated in the absence and presence of SDBS. The results showed that the enhancement of SDBS on ECL intensity of tertiary amines‐Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ systems was universal.     

Immobilization of Enzymes on the Nano‐Au Film Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for the Determination of Hydrogen Peroxide and Glucose

A new enzyme‐based amperometric biosensor for hydrogen peroxide was developed relying on the efficient immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to a nano‐scaled particulate gold (nano‐Au) film modified glassy carbon electrode (GC). The nano‐Au film was obtained by a chitosan film which was first formed on the surface of GC. The high affinity of chitosan for nano‐Au associated with its amino groups resulted in the formation of nano‐Au film on the surface of GC. The film formed served as an intermediator to retain high efficient and stable immobilization of the enzyme. H₂O₂ was detected using hydroquinone as an electron mediator to transfer electrons between the electrode and HRP. The HRP immobilized on nano‐Au film maintained excellent electrocatalytical activity to the reduction of H₂O₂. The experimental parameters such as the operating potential of the working electrode, mediator concentration and pH of background electrolyte were optimized for best analytical performance of amperometry. The linear range of detection for H₂O₂ is from 6.1×10^?6 to 1.8×10^?3 mol L^?1 with a detection limit of 6.1 μmol L^?1 based on signal/noise=3. The proposed HRP enzyme sensor has the features of high sensitivity (0.25 Almol^?1cm^?2), fast response time (t_90%≤10 s) and a long‐term stability (>1 month). As an extension, glucose oxidase (GOD) was chemically bound to HRP‐modified electrode. A GOD/HRP bienzyme‐modified electrode formed in this way can be applied to the determination of glucose with satisfactory performance.

Electrocatalysis Oxidation of GMP Based on Layered Double Hydroxide Functionalized with Anionic Surfactant and Room Temperature Ionic Liquid Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

The electrocatalysis oxidation of guanosine‐5′‐monophosphate (GMP) was investigated on Mg‐Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) functionalized with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) modified glass carbon electrode (GCE). The cyclic voltammogram of GMP on the modified electrode (RTIL/ LDH‐SDS/GCE) exhibited a well defined anodic peak at 1.091 V in 0.2 mol·L^?1 pH 4.4 acetate buffer solution. The GMP oxidation was enhanced in the presence of anionic surfactant in the ?lms. The results suggest that the surfactant molecules intercalate the LDH layers to preconcentrate GMP molecules and the RTIL showed good ionic conductivity. The experimental parameters were optimized, the kinetic parameters were investigated and the probable oxidation mechanism was proposed. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidation peak current was proportional to GMP concentration in the range from 5.0×10^?7 to 1.0×10^?4 mol·L^?1 with the correlation coefficient of 0.9987 and the detection limit was 1.0×10^?7 mol·L^?1. The RTIL/LDH‐SDS/GCE showed a good electrochemical response to the oxidation of GMP and would be developed into a new biosensor.
