Abstract

A sensitive and novel electrochemical sensor was developed for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using a reduced graphene oxide-nafion@silver6 (rGO-Nf@Ag6) nanohybrid modified glassy carbon electrode (GC/rGO-Nf@Ag6). The GC/rGO-Nf@Ag6 electrode exhibited an excellent electrochemical sensing ability for determining H2O2 with high sensitivity and selectivity. The detection limit of the electrochemical sensor using the GC/rGO-Nf@Ag6 electrode for H2O2 determination was calculated to be 5.35×10−7 M with sensitivity of 0.4508 µA µM−1. The coupling between rGO-Nf with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) significantly boosted the electroanalytical performance by providing more active area for analyte interaction, thereby allowing more rapid interfacial electron transfer process. The interfering effect on the current response of H2O2 was studied and the results revealed that the sensor electrode exhibited an excellent immunity from most common interferents. The proposed non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor was used for determining H2O2 in apple juice, and the sensor electrode provided satisfactory results with reliable recovery values. These studies revealed that the novel GC/rGO-Nf@Ag6 sensor electrode could be a potential candidate for the detection of H2O2.
