Abstract

The one-step electrochemical deposition of highly dispersed platinum nanoparticles on graphene to fabricate a new Pt/EG/GC modified electrode for formaldehyde determination in aqueous solution. Catalyst surface morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), the composition analysis was carried out on energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The electrochemical performances of the electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, and clear amperometric responses were obtained in the scan process. The correlation coefficient was 0.998 of the linear relation between current values and concentrations, the Pt/EG/GC electrode exhibited a low limit of detection (0.04 mM), high sensitivity (0.0162 mA mM−1) and long working life. These characteristics make the Pt/EG/GC electrode appropriate for the formaldehyde determination based on formaldehyde electric catalytic oxidation.
