Abstract:

A cobalt nanoparticles-attached indium tin oxide(CoNPs/ITO) electrode was applied to the immobilization of hemoglobin(Hb) and an Hb modified CoNPs/ITO electrode(Hb/CoNPs/ITO) was prepared. The direct electron transfer of Hb was shown by the well-behaved voltammetric responses for Hb/CoNPs/ITO electrode and the effects of scan rate and pH value were observed. Based on the catalytic activity of Hb immobilized on the CoNPs/ITO electrode toward the reduction of H2O2, a mediator-free H2O2 sensor was developed. A linear relationship existed between the catalytic current and the H2O2 concentration in a range of 1.0―100.0 μmol/L with a detection limit (S/N=3) of 0.2 μmol/L.
