AbstractThe direct electrochemistry of catalase (CAT) at didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) present on nafion dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-NF) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has been reported. The presence of DDAB in MWCNTs-NF-CAT film enhances the surface coverage concentration of CAT (Fe III/II ) to 48%. Similarly, in presence of DDAB, there is a 57% enhancement in electron transfer rate ( k s ) with 66% increase in CAT stability. And the same Fe III/II redox couple exhibits linear dependence with the pH variation (−51 mV pH −1 ). The UV-visible absorption spectroscopy study reveals the entrapped CAT in DDAB film retains its native structure at MWCNTs-NF modified electrodes. Similarly, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results confirm the co-existence of CAT and DDAB in the modified film. Further, scanning electron microscopy results reveal the structural morphological difference between various components in MWCNTs-NF-(DDAB/CAT) film. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometry (i-t curve) have been used for the measurement of electroanalytical properties of H 2 O 2 by means of various film modified GCEs. The sensitivity values of MWCNTs-NF-(DDAB/CAT) film for H 2 O 2 using CV (35.62 μA mM −1 cm 2 ) are higher than the values which are obtained for MWCNTs-NF-CAT film (2.74 μA mM −1 cm 2 ). Similarly, the sensitivity values using i-t curve are 101.74 μA mM −1 cm 2 for MWCNTs-NF-(DDAB/CAT) and 74.69 μA mM −1 cm 2 for MWCNTs-NF-CAT film. Finally, the diffusion coefficient of H 2 O 2 at MWCNTs-NF-(DDAB/CAT) film (3.4 × 10 −10 cm 2 s −1 ) has been calculated using rotating disc electrode studies.
