Abstract
Nanoporous gold (NPG) with uniform pore sizes and ligaments was prepared by using a simple dealloying method. NPG electrodes exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of CySH and the mechanism for the electrochemical reaction of CySH on NPG has been discussed. Interestingly, if the operating potential is fixed at 0.65 V, a strong current is observed and interferences by tryptophan and tyrosine are avoided. The calibration plot is linear in the concentration range from 1 μM to 400 μM (R2 = 0.994), and the quantification limit is as low as 50 nM. The NPG-modified electrode has good reproducibility, high sensitivity and selectivity, can be used to sense CySH in aqueous solution.
