Abstract

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was tailored with conducting polymer polythiophene and further immobilized by an enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx). A thin film of polymer was developed by electrochemical polymerization of thiophene monomer. During electrochemical polymerization of the monomer the enzyme GOx and the redox active mediator ferritin (Frt) were entrapped within this polymer matrix. In this novel approach, the entrapment of enzyme and mediators within a polymer matrix occurs without chemical reaction that could affect their activity. The entrapment of enzyme and mediator within the conducting polymer matrices increases the surface area of the electrode. The tailored GCE/Ptp/Frt/GOx electrode showed a high catalytic activity. The increased surface area causes a high rate of electron transfer between the electrode and Frt engaged as an electron transfer mediator. The electrochemical properties of the electrode were determined by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The fabricated bioanode showed a current density of 3.9mA cm−2 at 1.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl in a 45 mM glucose solution and suggests proficient chances in biofuel cells (BFCs) applications.
