Ion‐exchange properties of poly(L‐lysine) coatings on pyrolytic graphite electrodes

Authors:

Abstract
Pyrolytic graphite electrodes are coated with films of poly(L‐lysine) (PLL). The polyelectrolyte films bind multiply charged counterions. Cyclic voltammetry is used to investigate the incorporation of Fe(CN) anions as a function of time, concentration, pH, and ionic strength. The stability of the film is studied after transfer of the PLL coatings into an electrolyte solution. The PLL‐modified pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrode proves to be very effective in facilitating electron transfers of negatively charged proteins, such as ferredoxin and hydrogenase.
