Direct Electrochemistry of Hemoglobin and its Electrocatalysis Based on a Carbon Nanotube Paste Electrode

A new hemoglobin (Hb) and carbon nanotube (CNT) modified carbon paste electrode was fabricated by simply mixing the Hb, CNT with carbon powder and liquid paraffin homogeneously. To prevent the leakage of Hb from the electrode surface, a Nafion film was further applied on the surface of the Hb‐CNT composite paste electrode. The modified electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Direct electrochemistry of hemoglobin in this paste electrode was easily achieved and a pair of well‐defined quasi‐reversible redox peaks of a heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) couple appeared with a formal potential (E^0′) of ?0.441 V (vs. SCE) in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The electrochemical behaviors of Hb in the composite electrode were carefully studied. The fabricated modified bioelectrode showed good electrocatalytic ability for reduction of H₂O₂ and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), which shows potential applications in third generation biosensors.     

Direct Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis of Hemoglobin Immobilized in a Polymeric Ionic Liquid Film

A polymer film based on polymeric ionic liquid, which was poly(1‐vinyl‐3‐butylimidazolium chloride) (poly(ViBuIm⁺Cl^?)for short), was firstly used as matrix to immobilize hemoglobin (Hb). FTIR and UV‐vis spectra demonstrated that the native structure of Hb was well preserved after entrapped into the polymer film. The Hb immobilized in the poly(ViBuIm⁺Cl^?) film showed a fast direct electron transfer for the Hb‐Fe^III/Fe^II redox couple. Based on the direct electron transfer of the immobilized Hb, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Hb/poly(ViBuIm⁺Cl^?)/GC electrode displayed good sensitivity and wide linear range for the detection of H₂O₂. The linear range of the PVA/Hb/poly(ViBuIm⁺Cl^?)/GC electrode to H₂O₂ is from 3.5 to 224 μM with a limit of detection of 1.17 μM. Such an avenue, which integrated polymeric ionic liquid and redox protein via a simple method, may provide a novel and efficient platform for the fabrication of biosensors, biofuel cells and other bioelectrochemical devices.

By using a 1‐butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate based carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) as the working electrode, graphene (GR) nanosheets and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were step by step electrodeposited on the surface of the CILE with potentiostatic method. The fabricated Ag/GR/CILE was used as a new platform for protein electrochemistry and hemoglobin (Hb) was immobilized on its surface with chitosan (CTS) as film forming material.

The results could be attributed to the synergistic effects of Ag NPs and GR nanosheets on the electrode surface, which provided a specific three‐dimensional structure with high conductivity and good biocompatibility. The Hb modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalysis to the reduction of trichloroacetic acid in the concentration range from 0.8 to 22.0 mmol/L with a detection limit of 0.42 mmol/L (3σ).

The resultant amperometric biosensor showed fast responses to the analytes with excellent detection limits of 0.2 µM for H₂O₂ and 0.89 µM for TCA (S/N=3), and high sensitivity of 1108.6 for H₂O₂ and 77.14 mA cm^?2 M^?1 for TCA, respectively. The linear current response was found in the range from 0.59 to 7.3 µM (R²=0.9996) for H₂O₂ and from 5 to 85 µM (R²=0.9996) for TCA, while the superior apparent Michaelis–Menten constant was 0.012 mM for H₂O₂ and 0.536 mM for TCA, respectively.

In this paper NiMoO₄ nanorods were synthesized and used to accelerate the direct electron transfer of hemoglobin (Hb). By using an ionic liquid (IL) 1‐butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (BPPF₆) modified carbon paste electrode (CILE) as the basic electrode, NiMoO₄ nanorods and Hb composite biomaterial was further cast on the surface of CILE and fixed by chitosan (CTS) to establish a modified electrode denoted as CTS/NiMoO₄‐Hb/CILE.
