And the electrochemical behavior of CuSO4 at the carbon nanotubes electrodes was investigated. Compared to the graphite electrode, carbon nanotubes elec- trodes had better electrochemical behavior for the analysis of Cu2+. Different electrodes prepared under the same condition showed good consistency of electrochemical detection property. And because carbon nanotubes were synthesized directly on the end of tungsten strings, the results of long-term stability experiments demonstrated that the carbon nanotubes electrodes had stable response to Cu2+ solution.展开更多

Magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MMCNT) which possess excellent capability of electron transfer were prepared by chemical coprecipitation method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to identify its surfacetopography and magnetization, respectively. Laccase was immobilized on the MMCNT modified magnetic carbon paste electrode by the aid of chitosan/silica (CS) hybrid membrane. Using current-time detection method, the biosensor shows a linear response related to the concentration of catechol in the range from 10-7 to 0.165×10-3 mol/L. The corresponding detection limit is 3.34×10-8 mol/L based on signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) ≥3 under the optimized conditions. In addition, its response current retains 90% of the original after being stored for 45 d. The results indicate that this proposed strategy can be expected to develop other enzyme-based biosensors.展开更多
