Abstract

In this work, a novel hydrogen peroxide electrochemical sensor was constructed with ferroferric oxide (Fe₃O₄) magnetic nanoparticles, which demonstrated good electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen peroxide. There existed a good linear relationship between the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the oxidation peak current in the range of 1.00 × 10^-6 ~ 1.00 × 10^-3 mol·L^-1 (R = 0.9980) with the detection limit of 6.60 × 10-7 mol·L^-1. The sensor exhibited good anti-interference ability, high reproducibility and stability.
