Abstract

We demonstrate a method for constructing bifunctional nanostructures, which conjugate biochemical and electrocatalytic activities, on glassy carbon surfaces by decorating the carbon surfaces with both biologically active glucose oxidases and size-monodisperse Pt nanoparticles (less than 2 nm in diameter) utilizing only a single dendrimer layer.
