It is critical to detect cellular secreted hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in situ for clinical diagnosis, biomedical research and cancer treatment. Herein, the electrochemical determination of H2O2 released by cancer cells grown on the surface of carbon cloth supported NiCo-DH/AuPt micro-nano arrays to elevate the capability of in situ signal collection was achieved. NiCo-DH/AuPt @CC was successfully prepared using the cobalt based metal–organic framework (Co-MOF) as a presoma after in situ etching growth onto the CC and electrodeposition of gold and platinum nanoparticles (AuPt NPs). Under the optimal conditions, owing to the excellent catalytic efficiency of NiCo-DH and AuPt NPs, the designed sensor performs a relatively wider linear range to H2O2 concentration from 10 μM to 22.08 mM, and the limit of detection is 0.145 μM. Accordingly, the as-prepared sensing system was also applied to determine H2O2 secreted by living cells which grown on the surface of NiCo-DH/AuPt @CC with satisfactory consequences. In possession of the superior sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility, the NiCo-DH/AuPt @CC is a luciferous platform for the real time detection of H2O2 in the area of biomedical and clinical diagnosis.
