Abstract
In this work, we describe a simple approach for the preparation of cobalt sulfide/reduced graphene oxide (CoS/RGO) nanohybrids via single step electrochemical method. The electrocatalytic activity of the CoS/RGO nanohybrids was evaluated towards the detection hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The physiochemical properties of the prepared composite was characterized by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction patterns. The CoS/RGO modified electrode showed superior electrocatalytic activity towards the detection of H2O2. The amperometric (i-t) studies revealed that the CoS/RGO performed well by attaining a wide linear response range of H2O2 from 0.1 to 2542.4μM with a lower detection limit 42nM and the sensitivity of 2.519μAμM−1cm−2. Meanwhile, the CoS/RGO nanohybrids exhibited good selectivity, rapid and stable response towards H2O2. The practical applicability of the sensor was successfully evaluated in human serum and urine samples with satisfactory recoveries.
