GOx/CNT/Silica Composites for Bioelectrodes

Composites of glucose oxidase (GOx), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and biologically synthesized silica have been synthesized and tested. These composites are prototypes of biological/electrical interfacial materials and could enable the development of the next generation of devices for a variety of medical, scientific, industrial, and military applications. In particular, it is envisioned that materials based on these prototypes will be integrated into bioelectrodes for biosensors and biofuel cells.
