Abstract
Some interesting practical uses of nonconducting poly(o-aminophenol) (POAP) films in the fields of bioelectrochemistry and electrocatalysis are discussed in this paper. Particular emphasis is given to the effects of applied potential, solution pH and interferents on the response current of biosensors based on POAP. Also, the behavior of POAP to improve the electroactivity of some electrocatalysts and its own electrocatalytic activity in coenzyme detection are described.
