Abstract

The DNA-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/glassy carbon (GC) electrode was prepared by modifying the DNA functionalized MWCNTs composite on a GC electrode. A novel non-enzymatic H₂O₂ sensing electrode was fabricated by electrodepositing Pt nanoparticles on the DNA-MWCNTs/GC electrode. The modified electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The response properties of the sensing electrode to H₂O₂ were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The results indicated that the sensing electrode exhibited a good linear relationship between response current and H₂O₂ concentration in the range of 0.04 ~ 18.07 mmol·L^-1 with a detection limit of 3.85 μmol·L^-1 (S/N = 3), as well as excellent reproducibility, stability and selectivity.
