Abstract
By employing dopamine as a nitrogen source and reducing agent, the block copolymer P123 as a pore forming agent, and graphene oxide as a carbon precursor, we present, for the first time, a convenient and controllable approach to the preparation of a novel uniformly nitrogen doped porous graphene (N-PGR) material. Using the prepared N-PGR as the supporting material, a novel nitrogen doped porous graphene/Pt nanoflower material (Pt/N-PGR) was obtained by a green and simple method. The characterization results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), element mapping, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrate that Pt nanoflowers are uniformly dispersed on nitrogen doped porous graphene. Electrochemical measurements show that Pt/N-PGR-900/GCE exhibits improved electrocatalytic activity towards H2O2 reduction and glucose oxidation. Linear responses are found for H2O2 and glucose in the range of 0.5-40 326 μM and 0.5-133.5 mM with the detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.2 μM and 0.05 mM, respectively. In addition, Pt/N-PGR-900/GCE exhibits high sensitivity and good anti-interference ability. The superior catalytic activity and selectivity make Pt/N-PGR a promising nanomaterial for application in electrochemical biosensing studies.
