文摘

TiO₂-graphene nanocomposite was prepared by hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide in colloidal suspension of graphene oxide and in situ hydrothermal treatment. The direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of hemoglobin in room temperature ionic liquid 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, chitosan and TiO₂-graphene nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode were investigated. The biosensor was examined by using UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical methods. The results indicated that hemoglobin remained its bioactivity on the modified electrode, showing a couple of well-defined and quasi-reversible redox peaks, corresponding to hemoglobin Fe^III/Fe^II couple. The kinetic parameters for the electrode reaction, such as the formal potential (E^o'), the electron transfer rate constant (k_s), the apparent coverage (¦£), and Michaelis¨CMenten constant (K_m) were evaluated. The biosensor showed good electrochemical responses to the reduction of H₂O₂ in the ranges of 1?170 ¦ÌM. The detection limit was 0.3 ¦ÌM (S/N = 3). The properties of this composite film, together with the bioelectrochemical catalytic activity, could make them useful in the development of bioelectronic devices, and investigation of electrochemistry of other heme proteins at functional interface.
