Abstract

The electrochemical functionalization of n-type InP porous nanostructures and their feasibility for biochemical sensor applications were investigated. The porous structures have extremely large surface areas, i.e., over , and superior electrical properties with conductive semiconductor substrates. As a first attempt at electrochemical functionalization, we successfully deposited a glucose oxidase (GOD) membrane onto an InP surface under an applied anodic bias of 1.2 V. With the addition of glucose, the response currents on the porous electrodes increased compared to those on planar InP electrodes due to their enlarged surface area. The sensitivity curves of the porous electrodes we used showed good linearity between the response currents and concentrations in a range from 0 to 5 mM.
