Abstract

An electrochemical sensor was developed for determination of hydrogen peroxide (HP) based on a carbon ceramic electrode modified with iron pentacyanonitrosylferrate (FePCNF). The surface of an iron-doped CCE was derivatized in a solution of PCNF by cycling the electrode potential between −0.2 and +1.3 V for about 60 times. The morphology and the composition of the resulting electrode were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared techniques. The electrode displayed excellent response to the electro-oxidation of HP which is linearly related to its concentration in the range from 0.5 μM to 1300 μM. The detection limit is 0.4 μM, and the sensitivity is 849 A M −1 cm −2. The modified electrode was used to determination of HP in hair coloring creams as real samples.
