Popis: | The aim of the research was to provide electrochemical, chemical, phase, and microscopic characteristics of electrodes based on titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) containing uniformly deposited, nonagglomerated spherical silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The nanoparticles were produced with the use of electrodeposition and sputter deposition methods. This paper presents the results of research of these platforms with the use of the following techniques: electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Evaluation of the adsorption of proteins-bovine serum albumin (BSA)-was carried out to establish the possibility of the use of the electrodes in a low-cost, simple detection system without surface functionalization. The research proved that the AgNP deposition facilitated the electron transfer increasing their conductivity properties as well as promoting the protein adsorption. The AgNPs/TNT electrodes showed a high selectivity to the BSA-anti-BSA complex. Half an hour of immobilization was enough to completely saturate the TNT electrodes, whereas for AgNPs/TNTs, 1 h of immobilization seemed to be not enough. The impedance parameter changes for electrodes with the AgNPs reached even about 300%. The biggest changes were noted for the platform obtained using cyclic voltammetry, so it is the best detection platform for biosensing. |
