Abstract

With a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as the substrate, the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film electrode was prepared through the electrochemical polymerization method, then a novel non-enzymatic electrochemical H₂O₂ sensor was fabricated by co-immobilizing phosphomolybdic acid and graphene with Nafion on the PEDOT/GCE electrode. The modified electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the responsive properties of the sensor to H₂O₂ were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The results demonstrated that, under the optimized conditions, the sensor exhibited good electrocatalytic performance for H₂O₂ reduction. The current response of the sensor was linear to the H₂O₂ concentration in the range of 2.91×10^-6 ~ 1.83×10^-2 mol•L^-1 with the detection limit and sensitivity being 9.90×10^-7 mol•L^-1 (S/N = 3) and 112.5 μA•(mmol•L^-1)^-1, respectively. Moreover, the sensor also exhibited excellent reproducibility and selectivity.
