| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Graphene is well-known to be a two-dimensional thin layer with very high conductivity and very large specific surface area, but its effective surface area depends on a planar/footprint area of a substrate in general. In order to enhance the surface area per unit planar/footprint area, we used seamless three-dimensional carbon nanotubes-grown graphene (CNTs/G). Here, we developed CNTs/G electrodes modified with biocatalyst, such as horseradish peroxidase, heme peptide, and hemin, for highly sensitive electrochemical biosensors to hydrogen peroxide. Compared with graphene electrodes modified with biocatalysts, cathodic currents of H2O2 for the CNTs/G electrode modified with biocatalysts increased due to increase in the amount of biocatalysts. Thus, the CNTs/G film would be useful not only for electrochemical biosensors but also for enzyme-based biofuel cells.
