Abstract: Au nanorod /chitosan have good biocompatibility,and are suitable for enzyme immobilization.In this paper,Au nanorod /chitosan composite matrix was developed to fabricate the glucose biosensor.The fabrication of electrode is simple and easily operated.The enzyme electrode was characterized by electrochemistry impedance spectrum and cyclic voltammetry,and the equivalent circuit was given.The experimental results indicated that the Au nanorod/chitosan composite membrane could increase the electronic transfer and response current of electrode.The linear range was 2.78×10-5 to 2.22×10-3 mol/L with a detection limit of 5.0×10-6 mol/L at 3 σ and a sensitivity of 7.819 μA·cm-2(mmol/L)-1,the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant(Km) is 10.387 mmol/L.The current response maintained 80% of original response after the electrode was repeatedly used 50 times.Further,it was found that 35 ℃ and 6.8 of pH are the set of optimal for the electrode measurement.
