Abstract

Single-walled carbon nanohorn (SWCNH) paste electrode was used for amperometric determination of concentrated hydrogen peroxide, and was compared with other carbon electrodes. The calibration plots are linear from 0.5 to 100 mM at activated SWCNH paste electrode and edge plane graphite (EPG) electrode. In contrast, the calibration plots are linear only at concentrations lower than 45 mM at graphite paste electrode, multi-walled carbon nanotube paste electrode, and glassy carbon electrode. Our results show that SWCNH paste electrode and EPG electrode are interesting alternatives to high surface area platinum electrode for determination of concentrated hydrogen peroxide. Because of its high-purity, metal-free SWCNH is a user-friendly and attractive material for electrochemical study.
