Preserved Enzymatic Activity Of Glucose Oxidase Immobilized On Unmodified Electrodes For Glucose Detection, Gang Wang, Ngee Mei Thai, Siu-Tung Yau

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Glucose sensing electrodes have been realized by immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOx) on unmodified edge plane of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (epHOPG) and the native oxide of heavily doped silicon (SiO2/Si). Both kinds of electrode show direct interfacial electron transfer due to the redox process of the immobilized GOx. The measured formal potential of the redox process agrees with that of the native enzyme, suggesting that the immobilized GOx has retained its enzymatic activity. The electron transfer rates of the GOx immobilized electrode are 2s−1 for GOx/epHOPG electrode and 7.9s−1 for GOx/SiO2/Si electrode, which …

Journal of Electrochemistry

A MWNTs modified GC electrode was constructed successfully to be used to detect hydrogen peroxide.Two methods of maximum anodic current of cyclic voltommogram and chronoamperometry were adopted to measure the concentration of hydrogen peroxide.The results show that the MWCNTs can enlarge the effective surface area of GC electrode and can enormously enhance the electron transfer.The sensitivity and correlation coefficient for hydrogen peroxide detection are 2.84 μA/mmol·L-1,0.997 and 1.5 μA/mmol·L-1,0.971 for cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry,respectively.The procedure of the two methods to detect hydrogen peroxide is simple,and the results obtained are satisfied.
