Hydrogen Peroxide Sensor Based on Horseradish Peroxide (HRP) Immobilized PANI Electrode with Au Nanoparticles

Abstract

In order to prepare the enzyme electrode for sensing of chemical molecules, the Au was coated on the surface of PP film by sputter coater. Polyaniline (PANI) was polymerized on the surface of the coated Au film by electrochemical polymerization of aniline in order to use working electrode. Subsequently, horseradish peroxide (HRP) was immobilized on PANI electrode as follows: Method I. The HRP was immobilized on the surface of PANI electrode by using Au nanoparticle as linker (physical adsorption). Method II. The HRP was immobilized on the surface of PANI electrode by using 2-aminothiophenol and Au nanoparticle as linker (Self-assembling immobilization). Method III. HRP was directly immobilized with PANI electrode by using glutaric dialdehyde as linker (covalent bonding). The sensing efficiency of the prepared HRP-PANI electrode was also examined. The sensing efficiency of the HRP-PANI electrode for H2O2 was as following order; Method I > Method III > Method II..
