Abstract

A novel bioelectrode system has been prepared in which an enzyme and a conducting polymer hydrogel are combined in a nanostructured scaffold. The latter consists of fibres of carbon NanoWeb, grown by chemical vapour deposition onto reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC). The catalytic currents produced by this new bioelectrode system are significantly larger than those obtained using conventional electrodes.
