摘要

Nano-carbon aerogels (CA) were prepared by the reaction between resorcinol and formaldehyde in alkaline conditions. The morphology and microstructure of the CA was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The specific area and the pore size distribution were calculated from the N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. Glucose oxidase (GOD)/CA/glassy carbon (GC) electrodes were prepared by immobilizing GOD on the surface of nano-carbon aerogels. The electrocatalytic properties of GOD/CA/GC electrodes were characterized by cyclic voltammetry in phosphate buffer medium (0.1 mol.L-1). The results showed that GOD can be immobilized on the nano-carbon aerogels, and that the biological activation of GOD was retained. The GOD/CA/GC electrode exhibits good direct electrochemical and electro-catalytic performance without electron mediators.
