An electrochemical sensor for hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) detection was established using 1aminopyrene (AP) as a linker between horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and reduced graphene oxides (rGO) modified glassy carbon electrode. The AP can combine with HRP via a covalent bond and combine with rGO via π-π conjugation. The covalent bond linkages can prevent the enzymes leaching of the enzymes and the π-π conjugate combination can facilitate electrons transfer, which plays synergistic effects to improve the performance of this sensor. The electrochemical activity of the HRP-AP/rGO was described by cyclic voltammetry, alternating current impedance and amperometric techniques. Under the optimal conditions, the biosensor showed a wide linear range from 1.5 μM to 28.5 μM and a low detection limit of 0.5 μM with good stability and high selectivity, confirming that the sensor is well-suited for the detection of H 2 O 2 during biological processes.
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.
