Abstract
Submicron-structured gold (SMG) exhibits promising prospects for the preparation of Prussian blue (PB)-modified amperometric hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor. Herein, the influence of deposition time on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of SMG/PB-modified electrodes was researched through scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), cyclic voltammograms (CVs), and chronoamperometry methods. It turned out that the thickness of the PB film on the electrode surface is increased in the deposition time, and the SMG/PB-modified electrodes exhibited the widest linear range and best stability under the optimized deposition time of 240 s. It turns out that thicker PB layer can provide more active PB particles on the electrode’s surface, improving the detecting performance of PB-modified SMG electrodes.
