The electrochemical dynamics of a film of FeCo nanoparticles were studied on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The film was found to be electroactive in 1 M LiClO4 containing 1:1 v/v ethylene carbonate dimethyl carbonate electrolyte system. Cyclic voltammetric experiments revealed a diffusion-controlled electron transfer process on the GCE/FeCo electrode surface. Further interrogation on the electrochemical properties of the FeCo nanoelectrode in an oxygen saturated 1 M LiClO4 containing 1:1 v/v ethylene-carbonate-dimethyl carbonate revealed that the nanoelectrode showed good response towards the electro-catalytic reduction of molecular oxygen with a Tafel slope of about 120 mV which is close to the theoretical 118 mV for a single electron transfer process in the rate limiting step; and a transfer coefficient (α) of 0.49. The heterogeneous rate constant of electron transfer (ket), exchange current density (io) and time constant (τ) were calculated from data obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and found to have values of 2.3 x 10-5 cm s-1, 1.6 x 10-4 A cm-2 and 2.4 x 10-4 s rad-1, respectively.

In the present study, a glucose oxidase (GluOx) direct electron transfer was realized on an aminated polyethylene glycol (mPEG), carboxylic acid functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (fMWCNTs), and ionic liquid (IL) composite functional polymer modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The amino groups in PEG, carboxyl groups in multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and IL may have a better synergistic effect, thus more effectively adjust the hydrophobicity, stability, conductivity, and biocompatibility of the composite functional polymer film. The composite polymer membranes were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, fluorescence spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. In 50 mM, pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution, the formal potential and heterogeneous electron transfer constant (ks) of GluOx on the composite functional polymer modified GCE were −0.27 V and 6.5 s−1, respectively. The modified electrode could recognize and detect glucose linearly in the range of 20 to 950 μM with a detection limit of 0.2 μM. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (Kmapp) of the modified electrode was 143 μM. The IL/mPEG-fMWCNTs functional polymer could preserve the conformational structure and catalytic activity of GluOx and lead to high sensitivity, stability, and selectivity of the biosensors for glucose recognition and detection.

ABSTRACTThe present work reports the covalent functionalization of few-wall CNTs (FWCNTs) by ferrocene derivatives to i) improve their dispersion efficiency in water and ii) to graft electroactive chemical groups on their side-walls in order to promote electron transfer to biomolecules. The functionalized CNTs (f-CNTs) are used to modify a glassy carbon electrode and this modified electrode is used for oxidizing the cofactor NADH (dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).
