Yang Liu obtained her Ph.D. from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2011. Following this, she held post-doctoral positions at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (2011–2013) and Curtin University, Australia (2013–2016). From 2016 to 2018, she worked as a chemist and research officer at ChemCentre, Western Australian Government. In 2018, she was appointed as Lecturer in Chemistry at James Cook University to commence her independent academic career. Her current research interests are primarily in the exploration of innovative analytical technologies for environmental and biological applications, including development of nanomaterials for label-free sensor devices and analytical utility of electrochemistry at nanoscale interfaces.

Abstract

Glucose oxidase (GOx) was immobilized between aligned carbon nanotube films (ACNTFs) using a cross-stacking method without any purification and functionalization processes. Direct electron transfer of GOx was achieved on the ACNTFs with reversible redox peaks observed at the formal potential of –0.448 V. When applied to the determination of glucose by cyclic voltammetry, the prepared enzymatic electrode exhibited a linear range from 1 to 5 mM under mediator-free physiological conditions, which makes it a promising candidate for the development of third-generation glucose biosensors.

Keywords: carbon, nanotubes, films, electrochemistry, electroanalytical chemistry, glucose, enzyme immobilization, direct electron transfer, biosensor.
