Abstract
The prospective of this work is to synthesize a new nanocomposite that serves as an electrode material for the immobilization of biomolecules. In this work surface-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (f–COOH–SWCNTs), and hydrothermally synthesized surface defected 2D nanoplates wrapped by polpyrrole matrix was developed. The developed nanocomposite was utilized as the anode material for the immobilization of enzymes. Nanocomposite f-SWCNTs@Ppy@NiMoSe2 was characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the electrochemical methods including cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The electrochemically controlled bioanode reached to the open circuit potential (OCV) of 0.35 V and delivered the maximum current density of 9.01 mA cm−2 in 50 mM glucose concentration prepared in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (pH 7.0) as the testing solution at 100 mVs−1 scan rates.
