Abstract
A novel and highly stable biomimetic oxidase sensor system was designed for catehol detection. FePP used as biomimetic horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized onto modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Functional groups such as -OH, -NH2 and -COOH were introduced onto the surface of MWCNTs to provide biomimetic microenvironment for iron porphyrins (FePP). Stable biomimetic enzyme electrode has been developed to detect catechol as a simple, economical and efficient method. At optimal condition, the detection limit of OH-MWCNTs/FePP/Nafion was 3.754 × 10- 6 M. After stored at -4°C for 35 days, the oxidation current value still maintained 98.3% of initial activity. In repetitive nature test, relative standard deviation (RSD) of oxidation current remained within 1.0% after ten consecutive measurements in the same concentration of catechol solution, while most of reported oxidase sensor was within 2.0% under the same condition.
