A novel route has been introduced to fabricate the composite of polyaniline (PANI) and cadmium sulphide quantum dots (CdS-QD) using electrochemical polymerization technique for mediator free biosensing. The synthesis process involves in situ formation of CdS quantum dots that provide template for eletro-polymerization of aniline resulting in nanostructured PANI-(CdS-QD) film deposition on the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass plate. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy have been used to reveal the formation of CdS-QD and morphological changes involved during incorporation of CdS in PANI matrix and while immobilization of cholesterol oxidase (ChOx). The UV–visible and FT-IR investigations show the formation of PANI-(CdS-QD) composite at the molecular level. This matrix has been utilized for the covalent immobilization of cholesterol oxidase to explo.. Read More»
