Hemin Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as a Matrix for Sensitive Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence Cholesterol Biosensor

Based on hemin‐MWCNTs nanocomposite and hemin‐catalyzed luminol‐H₂O₂ reaction, a sensitive electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) cholesterol biosensor was proposed in this paper. Firstly, hemin‐MWCNTs was prepared via π–π stacking and modified on the surface of GCE. Subsequently, cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) was adsorbed on the modified electrode to achieve a cholesterol biosensor. Hemin‐MWCNTs nanocomposite provided the electrode with a large surface area to load ChOx, and endowed the nanostructured interface on the electrode surface to enhance the performance of biosensor. The biosensor responded to cholesterol in the linear range from 0.3 µM to 1.2 mM with a detection limit of 0.1 µM (S/N=3).
