Abstract: | The biosensing application of single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs) was demonstrated through fabrication of an amperometric glucose biosensor. The biosensor was constructed by encapsulating glucose oxidase in the Nafion-SWCNHs composite film. The cyclic voltammograms for glucose oxidase immobilized on the composite film displayed a pair of well-defined and nearly symmetric redox peaks with a formal potential of -0.453 V. The biosensor had good electrocatalytic activity toward oxidation of glucose. To decrease detection potential, ferrocene monocarboxylic acid was used as a redox mediator. The mediated glucose biosensor shows a linear range from 0 to 6.0 mM. The biosensor shows high sensitivity (1.06 microA/mM) and stability, and can avoid the commonly coexisted interference. Because of impressive properties of SWCNHs, such as high purity and high surface area, SWCNHs and their composites are expected to be promising material for biomolecular immobilization and biosensing applications. |
