Abstract

In this paper, a novel modified electrode was developed by using highly dispersed Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles protected by poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). The size of the nanoparticles was controlled through adjusting the feed ratio of PVP/Fe2+. Physical characteristics of the nanocomposite were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) analysis. The electrocatalytic reduction of hemoglobin (Hb) at PVP-protected PB nanoparticles (PVP/PB NPs)-modified electrode had been investigated. In addition, the size effects and biocompatibility of PVP/PB NPs for the electrochemistry of Hb were also observed. Experimental results indicated that the reduction peak currents of Hb were linear with its concentrations over the range from 1.0 × 10 -7 to 1.2 × 10-5 mol/L and the calculated detection limit (S/N = 3) was 4.0 × 10-8 mol/L.
