- Abstract
- Enzymatic electrodes were fabricated by using three different immobilizations of glucose oxidase (GOX): covalent enzyme attachment (CA), enzyme coating (EC), and enzyme precipitate coating (EPC), here referred to as CA-E, EC-E, and EPC-E, respectively. When additional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were introduced from 0 to 75 wt% for the EPC-E design, its initial biosensor sensitivity was improved from 2.40 x 10(-3) to 16.26 x 10(-3) A.M-1.cm(-2), while its electron charge transfer rate constant was increased from 0.33 to 1.47 s(-1). When a fixed ratio of CNTs was added for three different electrode systems, EPC-E showed the best glucose sensitivity and long-term thermal stability. For example, when 75 wt% of additional CNTs was added, the initial sensitivity of EPC-E was 16.26 x 10(-3) A.M-1.cm(-2), while those of EC-E and CA-E were only 6.42 x 10(-3) and 1.18 x 10(-3) A.M-1.cm(-2), respectively. Furthermore, EPC-E retained 63% of its initial sensitivity after thermal treatment at 40 degrees C over 41 days, while EC-E and CA-E showed only 12% and 1% of initial sensitivities, respectively. Consequently, the EPC approach with additional CNTs achieved both high sensitivity and long-term stability, which are required for continuous and accurate glucose monitoring. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
