Abstract: Horseradish peroxidase(HRP) was immobilized on SiO2(about 60 nm) nanoparticles. In this experiment, HRP can remain a higher bioactivity with the Michealis-Menten constant of 7.8 μmol/L . By means of catechol mediator in the solution, HRP/SiO2 modified electrode displayed an excellent electrocatalytical response linearly to the reduction of H2O2 in the concentration range of 1.7×10-7 —1.9×10-5mol/L. The detection limit was 8.3×10-8mol/L. The time for steady-state current reaching 95% is less than 10 s.

Key words: SiO2 nanaparticles, HRP, Biosensor
