Abstract

Silver/titania (Ag/TiO2) nanocomposites, synthesized through a simple one-step chemical reduction method, are used for electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The images of transmission electron microscopic (TEM) demonstrate a well dispersion of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with a particle size range of approximately 3 nm on the TiO2 surface, which makes the sensor based on Ag/TiO2 exhibit an excellent performance toward H2O2. The AgNPs presented in the nanocomposite exhibit electrocatalytic reduction of H2O2 and the limit of detection (LOD) is found to be 1.23 µM. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation studies reveal that H2O2 could be easily adsorbed onto Ag rather than TiO2 surface of Ag/TiO2 via a partial electron transfer from Ag to H2O2. The nanocomposite-modified electrode has also excellent selectivity toward the detection of H2O2 over the interferents even when the interferents have a 100 times higher concentration than H2O2.
