Dendrimers resemble covalent micelles that provide well defined cavities and can enhance the hydrophobic nature of an electrodesolution interface. Dendrimers attached to an electrode can stabilize and concentrate mediators such as catalytic nanoparticles by forming nanocomposites. Such nanocomposites can improve the kinetics of specific electrochemical reactions. In this work we describe the preparation and testing of electrodes modified with nanocomposites of inorganic electrocatalysts, namely, Prussian Blue (PB) and platinum-group metals (Ir, Os, Pd, Pt, Rh and Ru), within tethered PAMAM dendrimers for use as amperometric sensors. These electrodes offer good sensitivity in the detection of molecules with biological importance, such as H 2 O 2 and dopamine, in neutral aqueous media.
