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.
