Abstract

The 1.6-hexanedithiol (HDT) chemically modified gold (HDT/Au) electrode were prepared by self-assembly. The HDT modified layer blocked the heterogeneous electrolysis of [Fe (CN)6]3-/4- strongly except sites of pinholes and defects which behaved like ultramicro electrode ensembles (UMEs). The features of UMEs and the electrochemcial characteristics of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4 at UMEs with different modifying hours were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. HDT modified gold electrode promoted the electrochemical process for redox reaction of 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP), the product of OPD-H2O2-HRP enzymatic catalyst reaction system and blocked hydrogen evolution effectively. The detection limit determined by square wave was 10-11g/ml, which is about one order of magnitude lower than the reported lowest results.
