Highlights

• The performance of a laccase biosensor is improved by using LbL films as substrate.

• LbL films contain chitosan, an ionic liquid and a copper phthalocyanine derivative.

• The combination of their complementary functionalities improves the performance.

• Improvement is due to their electrocatalytic and immobilization properties

• Biosensors with laccase on LbL layers show a LOD of 9.98·10−9 M towards catechol.

Materials and instruments

Layer by layer films were prepared using a rotary dip-coater device ND-R from Nadetech (Spain). LbL films were deposited onto different substrates including glass, ZnS, quartz, mica and ITO glass. ITO glass slides were purchased from SIGMA (surface resistivity 15–25 Ω/sq). Mica slides were muscovite Mica V2 quality (Electron Microscopy Science. USA.Cat. 71857-01-10).
