Abstract

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated on monolayer graphene (AuNP/MG) by direct in situ sputtering of AuNPs on CVD-generated graphene. This process avoids complicated polymer transfer and polymer cleaning processes and affords AuNPs with a clean surface. The monolayer graphene is ductile and well dispersed. The clean surface of the AuNPs renders this sensor superior to GCEs modified with AuNPs on reduced graphene oxide in terms of the amperometric non-enzymatic determination of hydrogen peroxide. The detection limit is 10 nM (S/N = 3) at 0.55 V (vs. SCE), which is lower than that for similar methods, and the response time is as short as 2 s. Another attractive feature of the sensor is its feasibility for large-scale production via CVD and sputtering.
