Abstract
A high-performance electrochemical H2O2 sensor was prepared by constructing multiple interfaces using platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs), ferumoxytol (Fer) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The morphology of Fer/rGO and Fer/rGO-Pt was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were adopted to characterize the electrochemical properties of the sensor. Because of the synergistic catalytic effect of the compositions (rGO, Fer and Pt NPs) on the multiple interfaces, the sensor exhibits particularly high electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of H2O2 with a low detection limit (~0.38μM), a linear range (0.0004-0.01, 0.0075-4.3 and 4.9-10.8mM), and a high sensitivity (340μAmM-1cm-2, n= 4) operated at a typical working voltage of +0.1V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The electrode is selective and long-term stable. It was successfully applied to the determination of H2O2 in (spiked) milk samples.
