A novel non-enzymatic superoxide anion (O-2(center dot-)) sensor was fabricated based on Ag nanoparticles (NPs)/L-cysteine functioned carbon nanotubes (Cys-MWCNTs) nanocomposites and used to measure the release of O-2(center dot-) from living cells. In this strategy, AgNPs could be uniformly electrodeposited on the MWCNTs surface with average diameter of about 20 nm as exhibited by scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM). Electrochemical study demonstrated that the AgNPs/Cys-MWCNTs modified glassy carbon electrode exhibited excellent catalytic activity toward the reduction of O-2(center dot)- with a super wide linear range from 7.00 x 10(-11) to 7.41x10(-5) M and a low detection limit (LOD) of 2.33x10(-11)M (S/N=3). Meanwhile, the mechanism for O-2(center dot)- reduction was also proposed for the first time. Importantly, this novel non-enzymatic O-2(center dot)- sensor can detect O-2(center dot)- release from cancer cells under both the external stimulation and the normal condition, which has the great potential application in clinical diagnostics to assess oxidative stress of living cells.
