The search for a new and efficient transducer that can electrically connect enzyme active sites, like flavin adenine dinucleotide in glucose oxidase (GOx), with the electrode surface is a cutting-edge research area. Currently, Os(bpy)-complex pendent polyvinylpyridine/polyvinyl imidazole/pyridinium hydrogel based chemically modified electrodes have been widely used for this purpose (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). Herein, we report, a [Mn 2 III (phen) 4 (O)(Cl) 2 ] 2+ complex/ Nafion-immobilized carboxylic acid-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE/f-MWCNT@Mn 2 (Phen) 4 O(Cl) 2 -Nf, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), prepared by an in-situ electrochemical method using the precursor, Mn(phen) 2 Cl 2 , as an efficient and low cost alternate to the Os-complex transducer, for the glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx) based bio-electro-catalytic system. The existence of the key active site, [Mn 2 III (phen) 4 (O)(Cl) 2 ] 2+ , on the modified electrode was confirmed by physicochemical characterizations using transmission electron microscope, Raman, infrared, and UV−vis spectroscopes and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry techniques. The Mn-complex modified electrode showed a redox peak at E°′ = 0.55 V vs Ag/AgCl in neutral solution with a surface excess (Γ Mn ) value of 5.6 × 10 −9 mol cm −2 . The GOx enzyme bioanode prepared by adsorbing GOx on the Mn-complex modified electrode has shown an efficient bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of glucose with a Tafel slope value of 111 mV dec −1 . Amperometric i−t analysis of glucose showed a calibration plot in a linear range of 50−550 μM and with current sensitivity of 316.7 μA mM −1 cm −2 . The current sensitivity value obtained here is about 2−80 000 times higher than that of the Os(bpy)-complex based transducers used for GOx based bio-electro-catalytic applications. Utilizing this new bioanode system along with a Pt-based oxygen reduction electrode, a new biofuel cell was constructed and achieved a power density value 7.5 μW cm −2 .
