Nail-like carbon (NLC) was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. It was the first time that a novel electrochemical biosensing of glucose was explored based on the glucose oxidase (GOx)-NLC-chitosan (CHIT) glassy carbon electrode. Morphology and structure of NLC were characterized by scanning electron microscope; meanwhile the chemical composition was determined by X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The cyclic voltammetry of immobilized GOx showed a pair of quasireversible redox peaks with the formal potential (E degrees') of -0.458 V and the peak-to-peak potential separation was 47 mV at a scan rate of 100 mV s(-1). The present biosensor has a linear range of glucose from 0.02 to 1.84 mM (correlation coefficient of 0.9991) and detection limit of 0.01 mM (S/N=3). Compared with the previous reports based on the carbon material biosensor, it has a high sensitivity of 165.5 mu A mM(-1) cm(-2) and low apparent Michaelis-Menten constant of 0.506 mM. Thus, the NLC may have potential applications in the field of bioelectrochemistry, bioelectronics and biofuels.
