Abstract

The CuFe2O4 nanoparticles and the biomass carbon material (Bcn) were respectively synthesized by solid phase reaction method and pyrolysis method. Based on the good electrocatalytic performance of the composite of CuFe2O4 and Bcn for the oxidation of H2S, a sensor for continuous determination of H2S in real-time at lower working potential was constructed. The sensor can response to H2S in the concentration range of 5.0 nM–10.0 μM with high sensitivity, and it has good retention rate to H2S in simulated wound fluid. The use of the composite materials can avoid the deposition of sulfur as a by-product on the electrode surface, as well as avoid the interference of electroactive substances in the biological environment because the working potential of −0.2 V is lower than that used in other H2S sensors.
