Abstract
Porous silicon is generated in five different silicon types of <111>-orientation and the influence of dopant type and dopant concentration with respect to ability to serve as an enzyme activated biocatalytic substrate. Glucose oxidase was immobilised onto the porous surfaces and a maximum increase in catalytic efficiency of 350 times was demonstrated. The influence of the depth of the porous layer was investigated, showing that an average porous depth of no more than 5–10 μm is optimal for the parallel channel structured micro enzyme reactors developed by our group.
