Application of Hydrothermally Grown ZnO Nanorods for Electrochemical Biosensors
Main Article Content
Abstract
ZnO nanorods have been used on Au working electrodes of biosensors for enhancing biosensor characteristics. ZnO nanorods grown on working electrodes have been employed for fabricating not only glucose sensors but also electrochemical immunosensors for detecting Legionella pneumophilia. The sensitivity of these biosensors was enhanced substantially compared to typical electrochemical biosensors based on Au working electrode
