Abstract
The present invention relates to a bioelectrode including a cross-linkable organometallic polymer, and to a method for manufacturing same, and more particularly, to an electrode in which a nanostructure of the organometallic polymer is controlled to be used in bio fuel cells, biosensors, and the like. The electrode according to the present invention includes an organometal and further includes a self-assembling block copolymer and enzyme, and provides usages in bio fuel cells and biosensors.
Claims20
An electrode, comprising a self-assembling organometallic block copolymer and an enzyme.
The electrode of 1, wherein the block copolymer, together with the enzyme, forms a coating layer with a thickness of 1-50 μm.
An amorphously self-assembled block copolymer, comprising a block with a conductive organometal.
The amorphously self-assembled block copolymer, wherein the block is at least in part crosslinked with the organometal.
The amorphously self-assembled block copolymer, being represented by the following General Formula:
- wherein
- x and y indicate degrees of polymerization for respective blocks, and
- R1 and R2 are independently a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, acyl or alkoxy group of 1-30 carbon atoms, each block ranging in molecular weight from 0.1 to 500 kg/mol.
A method for fabricating a biosensor, comprising coating an electrode with a mixture of a self-assembling organometallic block copolymer and an enzyme.
The method of claim 18, wherein the self-assembling block copolymer is self assembled to an amorphous bicontinuous structure.
