Abstract

Silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction of acetaldehyde gas in the absence of protective gas, and Ag/FePO4 nanocomposites were synthesised by modified silver mirror reaction at a gas-liquid interface. A hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) electrochemical sensor was constructed through immobilizing Ag/FePO4 nanocomposites on gold (Au) electrode. The morphology and composition of the nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The electrochemical investigations of the sensor indicated that it exhibited excellent analytical performance with a wide linear range from 3.0×10−5 to 1.1×10−2 mol⋅L−1 and a low detection limit of 4.7 μmol⋅L −1 at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Meanwhile, it also showed acceptable reproducibility and anti-interference ability. This study may provide a new method for the synthesis of highly dispersed metal nanoparticles which might be used in other related fields.

The process for preparing FePO4 nanocomposites decorated with Ag NPs is described. An H2O2 electrochemical sensor was fabricated by immobilizing Ag/FePO4 nanocomposites on gold electrode. The electrochemical investigations for this sensor exhibited excellent H2O2 sensing performance.
