title: Amine-terminated organosilica nanosphere functionalized Prussian blue for the electrochemical detection of glucose.
abstract: A new glucose biosensor had been developed by immobilizing positively charged gold nanoparticles (PGNs) on organosilica nanosphere functionalized Prussian blue (OSiFPB)-modified gold electrode. The OSiFPB compound could not only effectively prevent the leakage of the PB mediator during measurements, but also easily form stable film on the electrode surface with efficient redox-activity and excellent conductivity. Furthermore, with the negatively charged surface of OSiFPB, this film could be used as an interface to adsorb the PGNs, which provided a congenial microenvironment for adsorbing biomolecules and decreased the electron-transfer impedance. So, with glucose oxidase as a model biomolecular, the proposed sensor showed rapid and highly sensitive amperometric response to glucose and this immobilization approach effectively improved the stability of the electron-transfer mediator. This work would be promising for construction of biosensor and bioelectronic devices.
