Abstract: The chemically modified electrode constructed by chemically cross-linking of redox mediator thionin with toluene diisocyanate(TDI) directly at the surface of a spectrographic graphite electrode shows a significant electrocatalytic activity to the oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NADH) with oxidation overpotential reduced by 310mV.In the potential range from-0.1 to 0.3V,the adsorbed thionin -TDI behaves as a one electron and one proton reversible redox process. The modified electrode achieves a steady-state current of NADH within 20s and the detection limit is about 1.5μm.
