Well-dispersed Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by reverse micelle. This method is based on one-step rapid formation in different sizes of nano-pool with water/oil system, which leads to a homogeneous distribution of PB nanoparticles. Scanning electronic microscopy, UV–vis, and Fourier infrared spectra give supportive evidence of PB nanoparticles. Electrochemical study shows that PB nanoparticles are modified onto cysteine-assembled Au electrodes and exhibit high efficiency of electron transfer.
