Abstract

A glassy carbon electrode was modified with PdO-NiO composite nanofibers (PdO-NiO-NFs) and applied to the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The PdO-NiO-NFs were synthesized by electrospinning and subsequent thermal treatment, and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Factors such as the composition and fraction of nanofibers, and of the applied potential were also studied. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity for H2O2 (583.43 μA · mM−1 · cm−2), a wide linear range (from 5.0 μM to 19 mM), a low detection limit (2.94 μM at an SNR of 3), good long term stability, and is resistant to fouling.

A glassy carbon electrode was modified with PdO-NiO composite nanofibers which were synthesized by electrospinning and subsequent thermal treatment. The sensor exhibited a wide linear range, high sensitivity, good stability and selectivity for the detection of hydrogen peroxide
