电化学生物传感器
检测对象
三氯乙酸(TCA)、亚硝酸盐(NO2−)、过氧化氢(H2O2);样品基质为磷酸盐缓冲液、Britton–Robinson缓冲液及加标自来水
检测原理
SWNTs与Hb共电纺形成多孔复合微带并直接修饰GCE,SWNTs作为导电通道嵌入Hb微带中,Hb血红素Fe(III)/Fe(II)中心可在电极表面发生直接电子转移。当H2O2、NO2−或TCA扩散进入微带孔隙并到达Hb活性位点时,发生无中介体电催化还原:H2O2在约−0.364 V被还原,NO2−和TCA在约−0.65 V被还原,Hb在反应中被再生。电子经SWNTs网络传递至GCE,产生稳态安培电流。电流随被测物浓度增加而增大,低浓度呈线性,高浓度出现Michaelis–Menten平台。多孔微带降低扩散阻力,SWNTs增强电子转移,从而实现灵敏检测。

效应效果
该传感器响应迅速,H2O2在10 s内达95%稳态电流。重现性良好:H2O2、NO2−、TCA电极间RSD分别为9.35%、7.64%、8.39%,电极内RSD分别为4.71%、3.89%、7.54%。低电位下尿酸和抗坏血酸不干扰H2O2;4 mM KNO3、MgCl2、NaI、Na2CO3、NaCl不干扰20 μM NO2−。2周内对2.5 μM H2O2、20 μM NO2−、100 μM TCA响应仅下降10.4%、4.8%、8.3%。加标自来水响应与缓冲液几乎一致。H2O2灵敏度为纯Hb微带7.7倍,LOD约低3倍;TCA LOD比此前报道低约3个数量级。

英文摘要
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and hemoglobin (Hb) were co-electrospun to generate SWNTs-Hb microbelts, a novel composite material combining the advantages of excellent electron transfer property of SWNTs, electrocatalytic capability of redox Hb proteins, and highly porous structure of microbelts. FT-IR spectra confirmed that Hb in the microbelts kept its native conformational structure and Raman spectra demonstrated the successful incorporation of SWNTs in the microbelts. The direct electrochemistry of SWNTs-Hb composite microbelts was investigated and its application for electrocatalytic reductions and sensitive detections of three compounds, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), nitrite, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was also conducted. The SWNTs-Hb composite microbelts based amperometric biosensor showed fast responses to the analytes with excellent detection limits of 2.41 μM for TCA, 0.30 μM for nitrite, and 0.22 μM for H2O2 (S/N=3), and superior apparent Michaelis-Menten constants of 0.24, 0.491 and 0.070 mM for TCA, nitrite and H2O2, respectively. Its application for spiked tap water was also demonstrated. The comparison of the SWNTs-Hb composite microbelts modified electrode with other reported electrodes in the literature indicates that the incorporation of SWNTs into Hb microbelts can significantly enhance the direct electrochemistry of Hb and the SWNTs-Hb microbelts based biosensor has great potential application in the mediator-free detection of various analytes.
