“Background Nanostructured electrodes have stimulated great interests due to their potential applications in the areas of online real-time analysis and sensitive detection [1, 2]. To meet the demand in those applications, electrodes Neratinib cell line need
to have some important criteria including large specific area, high electrochemical activity, and good biocompatibility. In recent years, nanorod arrays directly grown on a current collector have been investigated as nanostructured electrodes for biosensor application since their well-defined one-dimensional (1D) structure is favorable for electron conducting and ion accessing [3]. Due to the exceptional combination of chemical, physical, mechanical, and electrical properties, titanium nitride (TiN) attracts much attention for their potential application in various fields such as protective coating [4], supercapacitors [5], and catalysis [6, 7]. Recent literature has also reported its old potential use as electrodes for pH sensor [8] and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor [3].
H2O2 is not only a byproduct of a wide range of biological processes but also an essential mediator in food, pharmaceutical, clinical, industrial, and environment analysis [9]. Therefore, it is of great importance to achieve sensitive and accurate determination of H2O2. TiN nanorod arrays (NRAs) are expected to possess good conductivity and biocompatibility with unique 1D nanostructure, making a superb electrode for H2O2 sensor. The TiN NRAs can be obtained by a great number of methods, such as electrospinning [10] and solvent-thermal synthesis [3]. However, all the aforementioned methods need a nitridation treatment of TiO2 nanorods in ammonia atmosphere at a high temperature. Therefore, a facile and one-step fabrication method to prepare TiN NRAs is in demand.
