The development of a reagentless lactate biosensor based on a novel conducting polymer

One‐Step Electrochemically Deposited Nanocomposite Film of CS‐Fc/MWNTs/GOD for Glucose Biosensor Application

“…Electrochemical sensors, especially amperometric biosensors, hold a leading position among various biosensors. In the case of amperometric biosensor, the effective immobilization of an enzyme on an electrode surface with a high retention of its biological activity is a crucial point for the commercial development of biosensors [5,6]. To improve the immobilization efficiency, many immobilization methods, including physical adsorption [7], covalent or cross-linking [8], self-assembly [9], and electrodeposition [10] have been developed.…”

Recent Development of Miniatured Enzymatic Biofuel Cells 657

“…The electrode is mostly made of gold, platinum or carbon . Besides these conventional materials, biocompatible conducting polymers are widely used because they can facilitate electron transfer and co-immobilize the enzymes at the same time (Schuhmann & Muenchen, 1992;Haccoun et al, 2006 andNagel et al 2007). In order to maximize the cell performance, mesoporous materials have been applied in many studies because of their high surface areas thus high power density could be achieved.…”

Wide Bandgap Semiconductor One-Dimensional Nanostructures for Applications in Nanoelectronics and Nanosensors

“…The inset of Figure 2 (top) shows the morphology of as-grown GaN nanowires before functionalization. The characterization of the nanowires showed a high-quality, single-crystal wurtzite structure [12,13]. It turns out to be surprisingly straightforward to achieve good crystal quality nanowires using a variety of different synthesis methods.…”

“…Specific semiconductor materials including III-nitrides such as GaN [12][13] and InN [14][15][16], metal oxides including ZnO and SnO2 [17][18], and high-temperature materials such as SiC [19] have seen the greatest interest for chemical gas sensing applications, chiefly for the detection of H2, O2, NH3 and ethanol. There is also interest in applying these to biomarker detection [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”
