Abstract

Research into metal nanoparticles has increased, and they have been increasingly used in non-enzymatic sensor applications. However, there have been few reports on the use of natural products to prepare non-precious metal nanoparticles in an eco-friendly (green) manner. Studies were conducted on Cu nanoparticles (Cu NPs) prepared by the use of natural gallic acid (GA). This method is environmentally friendly and can be applied to H2O2 detection. As-obtained Cu NPs were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). When applied to H2O2 detection, Cu NPs had good sensitivity, stability, and anti-interference properties. Its electrochemical performance is no less than that of precious metal nanomaterials. Cu NPs mainly exhibit good sensitivity, reaching 5.74 μA mM-1 cm-2; the concentration range thereof is 1–20 mM. The process of constructing nanoparticles in this work used natural products, making it environmentally friendly and proving the practicality of constructing non-precious metal nanoparticles and the feasibility of their application to H2O2 detection.
