H2O2 Sensing on Co3O4-s-rGO Modified with Ni Nanodots
摘要
In this paper, Ni@Co3O4-s-rGO was synthesized and constructed as a non-enzymatic sensor to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The prepared sample was characterized using SEM–EDX, UV–vis, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. In 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the fabricated Ni@Co3O4-s-rGO amperometric sensor demonstrated a high sensitivity of 160.3 µA·mM⁻1 towards H2O2 within the linear detection range of 1 to 2000 µM. The detection limit was also determined as 3.6 µM. Furthermore, the Ni@Co3O4-s-rGO catalyst demonstrated high selectivity towards H2O2, even in the presence of common interferents. The enhanced electrochemical sensing ability of the catalyst is attributed to the synergy of three factors: the relatively large electrode active area, the high electrical conductivity, and the electron mobility in the presence of ultra-nanosized Ni particles.
