Sustainable hydrogen peroxide sensors: integrating 3D printing with battery recycling
摘要
The growing demand for sustainable and high-performance sensors has driven the development of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensing technologies utilizing innovative material combinations. This study developed cutting-edge H2O2 sensors by integrating 3D printing technology and materials like silver nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, recycled battery powder, and biodegradable polymers such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA) (5%, 10%), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (5%, 10%). The cyclic voltammetry analysis demonstrated that electrodes with 10% PVA exhibited superior electrocatalytic activity and sensitivity for detecting H2O2 compared to PLA-based electrodes. This innovative approach addresses environmental concerns associated with electronic waste, enhancing sensor durability and electrochemical efficiency.
