Abstract

Structural characteristics an cyclic voltammetry of three amperommetric biosensors based on immobilization of tyrosinase on a Sonogel-Carbon electrode for detection of phenols are described. Cyclic voltammetry was applied to study the electrochemical behaviour of the electrode and the electrochemical reaction on the electrode surface. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy were used for the structure characterization of the electrode surface, enzyme film and polymers coatings. The influence of additive-protective polymers, such as polyethylene glycol and perfluorinated-Nafion ion-exchanger on the surface of the biosensor were explored.
