Abstract
In the present work nanocomposite of polymerized ionic liquid PIL poly 1vinyl3ethyl imidazolium bromide modified graphene nanosheet PILGr was prepared The PILGr nanosheet composite was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy Then a robust and effective sensing strategy based on the nanocomposite for cytochrome c Cyt c immobilization on basal plane graphite BPG electrode surface was proposed Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of immobilized Cyt c were investigated in detail The cyclic voltammogram results indicated that the PILGr nanocomposite film showed an obvious promotion for the direct electron transfer between Cyt c and the underlying electrode The immobilized Cyt c exhibited an excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of nitric oxide NO The fabricated biosensor exhibited a fast response and a good electrochemical activity for NO with comparable liner range and low detection limit The low apparent Michaelis–Menten constant K textmtextapp indicated the affinity of PILGr and Cyt c Moreover the modified electrode displayed a rapid response to NO and possessed good stability and reproducibility Based on the nanocomposite a thirdgeneration reagentless biosensor could be constructed for the determination of NO The present work broadens the applications of graphene and ionic liquid in biosensor field
