Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy not only confirmed the synthesis of conductive PEDOT where BSA was the template for the polymerization, but also provided further insights into the stable immobilization of AuNP on the PEDOT:BSA film. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the attachment of AuNPs were stable under a high salt environment. The current technology demonstrates a feasible procedure to form a functional AuNPs\/PEDOT:BSA film that has potential applications in the fabrication of various biosensors and electric devices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18061823","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,5]],"date-time":"2018-06-05T04:16:43Z","timestamp":1528172203000},"page":"1823","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Molecular Assembly of a Durable HRP-AuNPs\/PEDOT:BSA\/Pt Biosensor with Detailed Characterizations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Fangcheng","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuaibin","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"},{"name":"Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Tunghai University, Taichung 407, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiansin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Tunghai University, Taichung 407, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiang","family":"Bi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Tunghai University, Taichung 407, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yesong","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Tunghai University, Taichung 407, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8733","DOI":"10.1039\/c3cs60141b","article-title":"Biosensor technology: Recent advances in threat agent detection and medicine","volume":"42","author":"Kirsch","year":"2013","journal-title":"Chem.
