Electrochemical Characterization of Polyelectrolyte/Gold Nanoparticle Multilayers Self-Assembled on Gold Electrodes

Electrochemical characterization of polyelectrolyte/gold nanoparticle multilayers self-assembled on gold electrodes.

Polyelectrolyte/gold nanoparticle multilayers composed of poly(l-lysine) (pLys) and mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) stabilized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were built up using the electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly technique upon a gold electrode modified with a first layer of MSA. The assemblies were characterized using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, cyclic and square-wave voltammetry, ele...

Fabrication and Characterization of CdS-Nanoparticle Mono- and Multilayers on a Self-Assembled Monolayer of Alkanedithiols on Gold

Electrochemical properties of Nile Blue covalently immobilized on self-assembled thiol-monolayer modified gold electrodes.

A monolayer of Nile Blue (NB) has been covalently immobilized on the self-assembled thiol-monolayer modified gold electrode. Cyclic voltammograms indicated a stable and reverse redox process of NB bonded on the electrode surface. The mechanisms of redox process coupling with proton transfer were proposed. The NB-modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic activity toward Nicotinamide a...

Electrochemical characteristics of thin nickel hexacyanoferrate films formed on gold and thiol self-assembled monolayers modified gold electrodes.

Nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) film was prepared and characterized on gold and thiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs)-modified gold electrodes. It was found that the film exhibited some different electrochemical characteristics compared with that found on a carbon electrode. In the presence of K+, the film exhibited a redox peak at about 0.5 V. The peak potential shifted linearly with the K+ c...

Characterization of self-assembled redox polymer and antibody molecules on thiolated gold electrodes.

Multilayer immobilization of antibody and redox polymer molecules on a gold electrode was achieved, as a strategy for the potential development of an amperometric immunosensor. The step-by-step assembly of antibiotin IgG on Os(bpy)(2)ClPyCH(2)NH poly(allylamine) redox polymer (PAH-Os) adsorbed on thiolated gold electrodes was proved by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and atomic force microsco...
