We fabricated the electrolyte-dielectric-metal (EDM) sensor on the base of AAO (anodic aluminum oxide) template with variation of the anodizing temperature. When a surface is immersed or created in an aqueous solution, a discontinuity is formed at the interface where such physicochemical variables as electrical potential and electrolyte concentration change significantly from the aqueous phase to another phase. Because of the different chemical potentials between the two phases, charge separation often occurs at the interfacial region [1]. This interfacial region, togeter with the charged surface, is usually known as the electrical double layer (EDL) [2]. The structural and electrochemical properties of AAO sensor were investigated for applications in capacitive pH sensors. To change the thickness of the AAO template, the anodizing temperature was varied from $5^{\circ}C$ to $20^{\circ}C$, the thickness of the AAO template invreased from 300 nm to 477 nm. The pH sensitivity of sensors with the anodizing temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ showed the highest value of 56.4 mV/pH in the pH range of 3 to 11. The EDM sensor with the anodizing temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ exhibited the best long-term stability of 0.037 mV/h.

To detect lead ions using electrochemical voltammetric analysis, Infrared Photo-Diode Electrode(IPDE) was applied via cyclic and square wave stripping voltammetry. Lead ions were deposited at 0.5 V(versus Ag/AgCl) accumulation potential. Instrumental measurements systems were made based on a simple and compact detection system. The stripping voltammetric and cyclic voltammetric optimal parameters were searched. The results yielded a cyclic range of $40{\sim}240mgl^{-1}$ Pb(II) and a square wave stripping working range of $0.5{\sim}5.00mgl^{-1}$ Pb(II). The relative standard deviation at 2 and 4 $mgl^{-1}$ Pb(II) was 0.04% and 0.02%(n=15), respectively, using the stripping voltammetric conditions. The detection limit was found to be 0.05 $mgl^{-1}$ with a 40 sec preconcentration time. Analytical interference ions were also evaluated. The proposed method was applied to determine lead ions in various samples.

A new amperometric biosensor has been developed for the detection of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$). The sensor was fabricated through the one-step deposition of a biocomposite layer onto a glassy carbon electrode at neutral pH. The biocomposite, as a $H_2O_2$ sensing element, was prepared by the electrochemical deposition of a homogeneous mixture of graphene oxide, aniline, and horseradish peroxidase. The experimental results clearly demonstrated of that the sensor possessed high electrocatalytic activity and responded to $H_2O_2$ with a stable and rapid manners. Scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and amperometry were performed to optimize the characteristics of the sensor and to evaluate its sensing chemistry. The sensor exhibited a linear response to $H_2O_2$ in the range of 10 to $500{\mu}M$ concentrations, and its detection limit was calculated to be $1.3{\mu}M$. The proposed sensing-chemistry strategy and the sensor format were simple, cost-effective, and feasible for analysis of "food-grade $H_2O_2$" in food samples.

This study presents a simple approach for the assembly of a free-standing conductive electronic nanofilm of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) suitable for enzymatic electrochemical biosensors. A large-scale SWNT electronic film was successfully produced by the dialysis of p-Terphenyl-4,4''-dithiol (TPDT)-treated SWNTs. Furthermore, Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized on the TPDT-SWNT electronic film, and the enzymatic detection of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was demonstrated without mediators. The detection of H₂O₂ in the negative potential range (-0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl) was achieved by direct electron transfer of heme-based enzymes that were immobilized on the TPDT-SWNT electronic film. The SWNT-based biosensor exhibited a wide detection range of H₂O₂ from 10 µM to 10 mM. The HRP-doped SWNT electronic film achieved a high sensitivity of 342 ㎛A/mM·cm² and excellent selectivity against a variety of redox-active interfering substances, such as ascorbic acid, uric acid, and acetaminophen.

In this study, the development of biosensors capable of bi-enzyme reactions by including Horseradish peroxidase and glucose oxidase was carried out for detection of glucose. The sensors were manufactured using electro deposition method to reduce production time, and screen printed electrodes (SPE) were used to produce economical sensors. To check the bienzyme effect, the sensor was compared and analyzed with single enzyme biosensor. The characteristics of the sensor were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), cyclic voltammetry(CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS), chronoamperometry(CA), and flow injection analysis(FIA). Analysis results from SEM, CV and EIS confirmed that the enzymes are well fixed to the electrode surface. In addition, it was confirmed that bi-enzyme biosensors manufactured from the CA method improved signal performance by 200% compared to single enzyme biosensors. From this results, we were able to explain that HRP and GOD react catalyzed to each other. And the results of FIA showed that the intensity of each current signal was constant when the same concentration of glucose was injected four times. In addition, by analyzing the intensity of current signals for glucose concentrations, the biosensors manufactured in this study showed excellent trends in signal sensitivity, reproducibility and stability.

Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) biosensor is one of the most developing sensors because this kind of sensors is highly selective and responds quickly to the specific substrate. Hemoglobin (Hb) has been used as ideal biomolecules to construct hydrogen peroxide biosensors because of their high selectivity to $H_2O_2$. The direct electron transfer of Hb has widely investigated for application in the determination of $H_2O_2$ because of its simplicity, high selectivity and intrinsic sensitivity. An electrochemical detection for hydrogen peroxide was investigated based on immobilization of hemoglobin on DNA/Fe(pyterpy)$^{2+}$ modified gold electrode. The pyterpy monolayers were firstly an electron deposition onto the gold electrode surface of the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). It is offered a template to attach negatively charged DNA. The fabrication process of the electrode was verified by quartz crystal analyzer (QCA). The experimental parameters such as pH, applied potential and amperometric response were evaluated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, this sensor shows the linear response within the range between $3.0{\times}10^{-6}$ to $9.0{|times}10^{-4}$ M concentrations of $H_2O_2$. The detection limit was determined to be $9{\times}10^{-7}$ M (based on the S/N=3).

[ $DeniLite^{TM}$ ] laccase immobilized Pt electrode was used for amperometric detection of some catechol derivatives and o-aminophenol (OAP) derivative by means of substrate recycling. In case of catechol derivatives, the obtained sensitivities are 85, 79 and $57 nA/{\mu}M$ with linear ranges of $0.6\~30,\;0.6\~30\;and\; 1\~25 {\mu}M$ and detection limits (S/N=3) of 0.2, 0.2 and $0.3{\mu}M$ for 3,4-dihydroxycinnaminic acid (3,4-DHCA), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (3,4-DHPAA), respectively. In case of OAP derivative, the obtained sensitivity is $237 nA/{\mu}M$ with linear range of $0.2\~15{\mu}M$ and detection limit of 70 nM for 2-amino-4-chlorophenol (2-A-4-CP). The response time $(t_{90\%})$ is about 2 seconds for each substrate and the long-term stability is around 40-50days for catechol derivatives and 30 days for 2-A-4-CP with retaining $80\%$ of initial activity. The optimal pHs of the sensor for these substrates are in the range of 4.5-5.0, which indicates that stability of the enzymatically oxidized product plays a very important role in substrate recycling. The different sensitivity of the sensor for each substrate can be explained by the electronic effect of the sugstituent on the enzymatically oxidized form.

Direct electron transfer of hemoglobin (Hb) in the chitosan (CTS) and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles (nano-$TiO_2$) composite films was achieved by using a room temperature ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ($BMIMPF_6$) modified carbon paste electrode (CILE) as the basal electrode. UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy indicated that Hb in the film retained the native structure. Electrochemical investigation indicated that a pair of well-defined quasi-reversible redox peaks of Hb heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) was obtained with the formal potential located at -0.340 V (νs. SCE) in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The electrochemical parameters such as the electron transfer coefficient (α), the electron transfer number (n) and the standard electron transfer rate constant ($k_s$) were got as 0.422, 0.93 and 0.117 $s^{-1}$, respectively. The fabricated CTS/nano-$TiO_2$/Hb/CILE showed good electrocatalytic ability to the reduction of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), which exhibited a potential application in fabricating a new kind of third generation biosensor.

Even though the carbon paste electrode bound with mineral oil is useful for research about the characteristics of enzymes, it remains far from practical uses because the lack of mechanical hardness limits its practical use. When the rubber liquefied in toluene was used as a binder of carbon powder in lab, it is confirmed that the mechanical robustness of the electrode is guaranteed. In order to confirm whether it shows quantitative electrochemical behaviors or not, its kinetic parameters, e.g. the symmetry factor (${\alpha}=0.28$), the exchange current density ($i_0=4.06{\mu}A/cm^2$), the capacity of the double layer ($C_d=2.11{\times}10^{-3}F$), the Michaelis constant ($K_M=2.45{\times}10^{-3}M$), and the time constant (${\tau}_B=0.077sec$) were investigated. Our experimental observations prove that the chloroprene rubber is a promising binder for the practical use of a carbon paste electrode.

In order to substitute for the marketed horseradish peroxidase, a hydrogen peroxide sensor embedded with tobacco leaf in carbon pastes was constructed and its sensing ability was electrochemically evaluated. Ten and more electrode parameters obtained implied that the enzyme electrode exerts its remarkable specificity quantitatively in the experimental range of potential. Especially the small symmetry factor (${\alpha}$, 0.21) showed that the electrode kinetics is very sensitive to the change of electrode potential. The experimental facts above suggested that our enzyme electrode functions as a hydrogen peroxide sensor normally and tobacco peroxidase can be used in the place of the marketed one as an alternative to marketed ones.
