The microcontainers have a cup-like morphology and are arranged in a density of 4000 units cm^-2. Catalase was immobilized into the polypyrrole films with microcontainers （Ppy-mc）, which were coated on a Pt substrate electrode. The catalase/Ppy-mc/Pt electrode showed linear response to hydrogen peroxide in the range of 0-18 mmol/L at a potential of-0.3 V （versus SCE）. Its sensitivity was measured to be approximately 3.64 μA （mmol/L） ^-1 cm^- 2, which is about two times that of the electrode fabricated from a flat Ppy film （catalase/Ppy-flat/Pt electrode）. The electrode is highly selective for hydrogen peroxide and its sensitivity is interfered by potential interferents such as ascorbic acid, urea and fructose. Furthermore, such catalase electrodes showed long-term storage stability of 15 days under dry conditions at 4℃.展开更多
