The non-enzymatic electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is described. This study utilized a 3D bicontinuous nanoporous platinum-gold alloy-based sensor (NPÀ Pt(Au) electrode), which has a morphology that resembles a molecular sieve. SEM and CV were used to evaluate the morphological and electrochemical characteristics of the NPÀ Pt(Au) electrodes. The cathodic voltammetric response of H 2 O 2 was enhanced at the NPÀ Pt(Au) as compared to planar Pt electrodes. The nanoporous electrode was able to maintain the H 2 O 2 voltammetric profile even in the presence of the biofouling agent, serum albumin. Its application as a nonenzymatic sensor for the amperometric measurement of H 2 O 2 was explored.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
