Abstract
We report on a nano-array sensor for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that is based on a nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide template. This was used as a matrix for the co-immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and methylene blue (MB) on the surface of an indium tin oxide electrode. The immobilized HRP retained its natural activity and MB is capable of efficiently shuttle electrons between HRP and the electrode. The new electrode was characterized by SEM and electrochemical methods. It exhibits fast response, long-term stability, high sensitivity and good selectivity to H2O2. Under optimized conditions, it linearly responds to H2O2 in the concentration range from 1.0 μM to 26 mM, with a detection limit of 0.21 μM (at S/N = 3).
