Abstract

We herein report on the electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of NADH of a PVC/TTF-TCNQ composite electrode modified with gold nanoparticles. This electrocatalytic property allows proposing this system as a new alternative for amperometric determination of NADH, without need to add another mediator. The sensor shows a linear response to NADH over a concentration range from 5.0×10−6 M up to 5.0×10−4 M, with a sensitivity of 11.22±0.5 mA M−1 and a detection limit (S/N=3) of 4.0×10−6 M for measurements in batch and similar data in FIA.
