Abstract

As outstanding electrocatalytic materials, both metal oxide and conducting polymers have been synergically explored to fabricate electrochemical sensors. A novel electrochemical sensing interface was obtained by electrodeposition of the composite film based on polyaniline (PANI), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nickel oxide modified on lab-made screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE) for methanol electrooxidation in alkaline medium. The prepared composite electrode was characterized using various methods, including the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction pattern (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The methanol electrochemical oxidation of NiO–NiOOH/PANI-CNTs/SPE in an alkaline medium was studied by using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The obtained excellent sensing parameters including a sensor sensitivity of 8.056 × 10–5 mA/(mM cm2) with a limit detection LOD of 5 mM (S/N = 3) in wide range of methanol from 30 to 880 mM (R2 = 0.997) demonstrated that NiO–NiOOH/PANI-CNTs/SPE truly displayed highly electrochemical and catalytic activities for methanol electrooxidation. Furthermore, our proposed SPE sensors exhibited the good stability, repeatability and reproducibility that are crucial for on-site real sample detection and validation.
