Abstract
A sensitive, selective and stable amperometric glucose biosensor employing novel PtPd bimetallic nanoparticles decorated on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PtPd-MWCNTs) was investigated. PtPd-MWCNTs were prepared by a modified Watanabe method, and characterized by XRD and TEM. The biosensor was constructed by immobilizing the PtPd-MWCNTs catalysts in a Nafion film on a glassy carbon electrode. An inner Nafion film coating was used to eliminate common interferents such as uric acid, ascorbic acid and fructose. Finally, a highly porous surface with an orderly three-dimensional network enzyme layer (CS-GA-GOx) was fabricated by electrodeposition. The resulting biosensor exhibited a good response to glucose with a wide linear range (0.062–14.07mM) and a low detection limit 0.031mM. The biosensor also showed a short response time (within 5s), and a high sensitivity (112μAmM−1cm−2). The Michaelis–Menten constant (Km) was determined as 3.3mM. In addition, the biosensor exhibited high reproducibility, good storage stability and satisfactory anti-interference ability. The applicability of the biosensor to actual serum sample analysis was also evaluated.
