Polymer coating for improved redox-polymer-mediated enzyme electrodes: A mini-review
Xinxin Xiao, Xiaomei Yan, Edmond Magner, Jens Ulstrup
Abstract
Redox polymers have been widely used to facilitate and stabilize bioelectrochemical communication between the active sites of enzymes and electrodes, enabling development of high-performance enzyme electrodes for sensing, provision of power, and in synthesis. This review offers a brief overview of recent efforts in the use of additional polymer layers on top of a redox polymer/enzyme layer, which can both improve the performance and expand the functionality of the resulting bioelectrodes.
