Large-area electroactive graphene thin films grafted with methylene blue (MB) have been developed as electrocatalytic electrodes for the oxidation of β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The oxidation of NADH starts from -0.08 V (vs. Ag/AgC1) at the graphene-MB thin film electrodes, showing a decrease of 530 mV in overpotential compared to a Ti metal electrode. The graphene-MB thin films have promising applications in biosensors and biofuel cells due to their ability to promote NADH electron transfer reaction.展开更多
