Abstract
A hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor based on Pd nanoparticles (NPs) and glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) is fabricated. Pd NPs are deposited on GCEs by using a gas phase cluster beam deposition technique. The NP-deposited electrodes show enhanced electrocatalytic activity in reduction of H2O2. The electrode with an optimized NP coverage of 85 % has a high selective and stable nonenzymatic sensing ability of H2O2 with a low detection limit (3.4 × 10−7 M), high sensitivity (50.9 μA mM−1), and a wide linear range (from 1.0 × 10−6 to 6.0 × 10−3 M). The reduction peak potential of the electrode is close to −0.12 V, which enables high selective amperometric detection of H2O2 at a low applied potential.
