Permeation regulation of charged species by the component change of polyion complex membranes.
Three kinds of polyion complex membranes were prepared on a glassy carbon electrode: polycation (poly-L-lysine)-rich membrane, polyanion (DNA)-rich membrane, and equivalent membrane. The permeation of electroactive species (e.g., hydrogen peroxide, L-ascorbate, urate, dopamine) through the membrane was measured by the oxidation current of species at base electrode. Permeation of the anionic species can be depressed through the anion-rich membrane, and permeation of the cation can also be regulated through the cation-rich membrane. It is obvious that the charge exclusion can be controlled by changing the component ratio of polycation and polyanion during preparation.
