Abstract

A voltage-facilitated immobilization procedure for phenazine methosulphate (PMS) and phenazine ethosulphate (PES) on graphite electrodes is described. The graphite is immersed in a solution of PMS or PES and a voltage of 1.1 V vs. SCE is applied for 15 min. The surface coverage was 5×10 −9 mol cm −2. At pH 7.0 the E 1/2 for immobilized PMS (−160 mV) and PES (−210 mV) were the same as for the soluble compounds. The modified electrodes catalysed electron transfer from dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Linear sweep voltammetry produced anodic peaks of the NADH oxidation at −50 mV (PMS electrode) and −100 mV (PES electrode). The electrochemical step was faster than the preceding chemical step involving a reaction between NADH and the immobilized PMS or PES.
