摘要

The detection of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a crucial process in various industries, including food safety. In this study, a cauliflower-like CuO-ZnO composite with p–n junction was successfully synthesized using a straightforward one-pot hydrothermal method. The resulting material demonstrates outstanding electrocatalytic performance for H₂O₂ detection, outperforming the individual components. The electrochemical sensor constructed from the cauliflower-like CuO-ZnO composite exhibits a well-defined linear response in the concentration range 0.0005 to 0.105 mmol·L⁻1 for H₂O₂. The sensor’s limit of detection (LOD) is 0.21 µmol·L⁻1 at a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 3, with a sensitivity of 1582.7 µA·(mmol·L⁻1)⁻1·cm⁻2. Furthermore, the sensor has been successfully applied to detect trace amounts of H₂O₂ in milk samples, showcasing its potential for sensitive electrochemical sensing applications.
