Abstract: The electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH in phosphate buffer solution (pH=7.0)by poly-thionine modified microband gold electrode was investigated.The electrochemical polymerization of thionine in acetonitrile solution and the properties of the resulting films were studied.It was found that the addition of acids such as CF3COOH to the medium markedly facilitates the film formation.The poly-thionine film was characterized by IR spectra.Two redox couple of poly-thionine in the potential range of -0.7─+0.5 V (vs.SCE)were observed,one of them possesses the monomer-type activity.The peak potentials are Epc1=-0.03 V,Epa1=0.05 V;Epc1=-0.24 Vand Epa1=-0.17 V (vs.SCE,25℃). Aslope of-29 mV/pH for the plot of Eovs. pHwas observed in acidic solution,whereas in alkaline solution the slope was -56 mV/pH.
