▎ 摘  要

In research on enzyme-based biofuel cells, covalent or noncovalent molecular modifications of carbon-based electrode materials are generally used as a method for immobilizing enzymes and/or mediators. However, the influence of these molecular modifications on the electrochemical properties of electrode materials has not been clarified. In this study, we present the electrochemical properties of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown monolayer graphene electrodes before and after molecular modification. The electrochemical properties of graphene electrodes were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance measurements. A covalently modified graphene electrode showed an approximately 25-fold higher charge transfer resistance than before modification. In comparison, the electrochemical properties of a noncovalently modified graphene electrode were not degraded by the modification.
