Abstract

Optimisation of the electrodeposition of Prussian Blue onto mirrored glassy carbon electrodes yielded a modified electrode practically insensitive to oxygen reduction. At the same time the electrode activity towards hydrogen peroxide reduction was extremely high. This allowed the detection of hydrogen peroxide by electroreduction over a wide potential range. Flow-injection investigations of this electrode inserted into a flowthrough electrochemical cell of the confined wall-jet type showed that the response for hydrogen peroxide is limited by diffusion. Glucose and alcohol biosensors were made by immobilisation of glucose oxidase and alcohol oxidase respectively, within a Nafion layer, onto the top of the Prussian-Blue-modified electrodes. By increasing the density of Nafion and decreasing the measuring potential the glucose biosensor was made completely insensitive to both ascorbate and acetominophes.
