A novel biosensor based on the silica-coated gold nanorods (GNRs@SiO2) and hydrophilic room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluroborate ([bmim][BF4]) was fabricated for the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitrite. GNRs@SiO2 can not only act as a binder to hinder [bmim][BF4] (RTIL) leaking from the electrode surface, but also provide a favorable microenvironment for direct electrochemistry of myoglobin (Mb). A pair of well-defined and quasi-reversible redox peaks of Mb was obtained at the GNRs@SiO2-Mb/RTIL-sol-gel composite film modified GCE (GNRs@SiO2-Mb/RTIL-sol-gel/GCE) through direct electron transfer between Mb and the underlying electrode. This biosensor showed an excellent electrocatalytic activity towards hydrogen peroxide and nitrite. The linear range for the determination of H2O2 was from 0.2 to 180 mu M with a detection limit of 0.12 mu M based on the signal-to-noise ratio of 3. In addition, the biosensor also exhibited high selectivity, good reproducibility. and long-term stability. Therefore, this kind of composite film can provide an ideal matrix for protein immobilization and biosensor fabrication. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
