Abstract
In contrast to "self-powered" (bio)sensors aiming to generate maximum energy output, we propose the systems with the lowest potential difference between the working and the counter electrodes, which in galvanic mode would provide achievement of the best analytical performance characteristics. Prussian Blue based (bio)sensors known to operate at 0.00 V versus Ag|AgCl reference, in the short-circuit regime generate the current proportional to analyte concentration. Sensitivity and dynamic range of Prussian Blue based (bio)sensors in power generation mode are, respectively, even slightly higher and wider compared to the same (bio)sensors operated in the conventional three-electrode regime powered by a potentiostat. Selectivity of the (bio)sensors in power generation mode is similarly high relative to both oxygen, allowing H2O2 detection by its reduction, and reductants. Among the most important advantages of the proposed power generation mode is an order of magnitude decreased noise compared to performance in a conventional three-electrode setup powered by a potentiostat. Noiseless performances of Prussian Blue based (bio)sensors would open new horizons for electrochemical analysis.
