Abstract
Cyclic voltammetric and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic investigations of screen-printed, thick-film gold electrodes reveal significant differences when compared with conventional polished gold disk electrodes of comparable size. The rough and porous structure of the thick-film electrode surface leads to an actual electrode area which is increased six-fold compared to polished disk electrodes. Due to the catalytic properties of these surface structures it is possible to perform the electrochemical oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) at relatively low overpotentials, i.e. +0.145 V vs. SCE. By operating electrodes at this potential, electrode fouling processes and interference from electroactive species, e.g. acetaminophen, are minimized. An amperometric glucose sensor based on polymer matrix-entrapped glucose dehydrogenase with a working potential of +0.145 V vs. SCE was successfully incorporated into a flow injection analysis (FIA) system.
