Abstract

Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles were immobilized in polyelectrolyte (PE) multilayers of various compositions and thickness. Films containing nanoparticles and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) were formed using the layer-by-layer adsorption method. A layer of branched poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) was used to anchor the multilayer structure at the surface of a gold electrode. The films exhibited electroactive properties, increasing with the number of deposited PB layers. The properties of PEI/(PB/PAH) n multilayers were then compared with the ones containing additionally the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)–poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). We found that the addition of the conductive, water-soluble polymer enhances the electroactive properties of the multilayer films. It also increased sensitivity of the multilayer-covered electrodes for electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide.
