The good catalytic activity of ZnO nanomaterial to the oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) was described for biosensing application. Compared to a bare electrode, the modified electrode decreased the oxidation overpotential of NADH for 0.47 V, decreased the interferences and minimized the surface fouling. With alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) as a model, the proposed biosensor showed rapid and sensitive amperometric responses to ethanol with acceptable preparation reproducibility and stability. Nano-ZnO provided an efficient matrix for development of NADH biosensors and the prepared electrode can be used not only to detect the concentration of NADH in a biochemical reaction, but also used as the potential matrix for the construction of dehydrogenases.

Key words: NADH, ZnO, electrocatalytic oxidation, biosensor, alcohol dehydrogenase, ethanol
