Bioelectrocatalysis with modified highly ordered macroporous electrodes

Integrated, Electrically Contacted NAD(P)+‐Dependent Enzyme–Carbon Nanotube Electrodes for Biosensors and Biofuel Cell Applications

“…Also, the currents observed in the present study are substantially higher than those observed for mediated NAD + -dependent enzymes in other porous matrices. [21] As mentioned earlier, the NADP + cofactor can only form one type of complex with 2, whereas the NAD + cofactor units can link to 2 in two different configurations. These configurations may differ in their efficiencies in electrical contact with the bound enzyme, and thus, it is important to elucidate the possible existence of the two configurations and their structure-catalytic function relationships.…”

Highly Ordered Anodic Porous Alumina Formation by Self‐Organized Anodizing

“…Therefore, the aluminum specimen volume increases significantly during anodizing (see Figure 1. 18). Experimental values of the volume expansion differ slightly from the theoretical predictions due to the lower current efficiency of anodizing, and usually vary between 0.9 and 1.6 [224,384].…”

“…Self-assembly QDs have also been used for manufacturing a quantum-dot field-effect and quantum-dot memory devices [13]. Electrochemical biosensors with a unique electrocatalytic properties used for electro-analytical purposes have been fabricated on a basis of carbon nanotubes [14][15][16] and other nanoporous materials [17,18]. Nanoporous, well-ordered materials have been used for gas moisture measurement and the successful fabrication of humidity sensors [19,20].…”

“…Self-assembled, hexagonally arranged nano-sized latex, polystyrene or silica spheres have been used as a lithography shadow mask to generate a variety of 2D metal nanoparticle arrays. Au [18], Ni [63], Fe 2 O 3 and In 2 O 3 [64] hexagonal, close-packed nanoarrays have been obtained by a subsequent deposition or etching through the nanosphere mask. Well-ordered arrays of nanostructures of complex oxides including BaTiO 3 and SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 has been obtained by NSL in a combination with pulsed laser deposition [65].…”

Tailored Mesostructuring and Biofunctionalization of Gold for Increased Electroactivity

“…[25] In recent work we could show that macroporous electrodes obtained by evaporation of colloidal latex bead solutions could also be modified with this mediator, but precise control of the electrode thickness was impossible for more than three pore layers. [26,27] In their recent report on macroporous gold films modified with hemoglobin, Xia et al monitored the thickness of the porous material by the charge flow during electrodeposition. [28] In our experience, however, this does not give perfect control over the number of pore layers.…”
