Abstract

An electrochemical sensor for trace levels of hydrogen peroxide (HP) was fabricated by the self-assembly of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, a gold-chitosan colloid, followed by electrodeposition of Prussian blue. The electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and other methods. The electrode shows well-defined peaks at 101 mV and 193 mV, the reduction current is linearly related to the concentration of HP in the range from 4.0 to and 19.6 μM. The detection limit of 3.36 μM (at an S/N of 3).
