A kind of nanocomposites with good dispersion in water was prepared through noncovalent adsorption of toluidine blue (Tb) on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for electric communication between horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and electrode. The nanocomposites could be conveniently cast on electrode surface. With the aid of chitosan, HRP was then immobilized on the nanostructure to form a reagentless amperometric sensor for hydrogen peroxide. UV-vis spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to characterize the adsorption of Tb on MWCNT. The presence of both Tb as mediator of electron transfer and MWCNT as conductor enhanced greatly the enzymatic response to the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. The novel biosensor exhibited fast response towards hydrogen peroxide with a detection limit of 1.7 x 10(-6) M and the linear range extended up to 4 x 10(-4) M Without the interference of ascorbic acid and uric acid. The Michaelis-Menten constant (K-m') of the immobilized HRP was evaluated to be 0.16 mM. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
