摘要
A synthetic cationic surfactant, 5,5-ditetradecyl-2-(2-trimethyl-ammonioethyl)-1,3-dioxane bromide (DTDB), was used to construct a supported bilayer lipid membrane (s-BLM) coated on an underlying glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD) and cyclic voltammetry were used to characterize the s-BLM. Both EIS and SAXD data indicated that the synthetic lipid exists as a well-oriented bilayer in the membrane. The voltammetric study showed that the lipid membrane can open ion channels in the presence of C1O4- stimulant with Ru(bpy)32+ as marker ions and give distinct channel currents. The channels can be closed and open up again many times by removing or introducing ClO4- anions.
