Preparation of cuprous oxide-supported silver-modified reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites for non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor

Abstract

We constructed a non-enzymatic H2O2 sensor based on cuprous oxide-supported silver-modified reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites. It was found that the sensor exhibited good performances for sensing H2O2 with a detection limit of 0.34 μM and a wide detection range of 1-310 μM. The combination of graphene with silver and cuprous oxide improved the sensor's sensitivity for detecting H2O2, with good repeatability, selectivity, and stability. The synthesis method of this nanocomposite provides a new idea for the green preparation of graphene-based nanocomposites and a new method for the construction of a new electrochemical sensor platform.
