Abstract

The subtle electronic properties and large electroactive surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) suggest that they have the ability to promote electron-transfer and favor electrocatalytic behavior in electrochemical reactions when they are employed as an electrode. In this paper, CNT-modified gold electrodes for glucose biosensor have been fabricated using multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The CNT-based electrode exhibits a strong and stable amperometric response toward glucose even at a low potential of +0.35 V versus Ag/AgCl in comparison with the glassy carbon-based electrode.
