A non-enzymatic sensor for hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) determination based on Ag/δ-FeOOH nanocomposite immobilized on an all-plastic disposable carbonbased electrochemical cell (DCell) is constructed by a rapid prototyping technique. Ag/δ-FeOOH is synthesized by a simple and reproducible method and its structural and morphological properties characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Ag/δ-FeOOH is successfully immobilized on the DCell, as revealed by SEM images. The electrochemical investigation indicates that the Ag/δ-FeOOH/DCell has a good electrocatalytic response for the H 2 O 2 reduction, showing detection limit of 71 μmol L À 1 H 2 O 2 at a signal-tonoise ratio of 3 and analytical sensitivity of 215.4 μA mM À 1 cm À 2. Moreover, Ag/δ-FeOOH/DCell can be used to selectively detect H 2 O 2 in the presence of dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), and ascorbic acid (AA). Finally, Ag/δ-FeOOH/DCell can be used to determine H 2 O 2 in fetal bovine serum. The achieved results indicate that the non-enzymatic Ag/δ-FeOOH/DCell is a costeffective alternative for the determination of H 2 O 2 .
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.
