Abstract
An exploration of reduced graphene oxide impregnated with antimony nanoparticles to form a nanocomposite as a platform for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase for the amperometric detection of hydrogen peroxide is presented. Electrochemical measurements revealed that the heterogeneous electron transfer constant (ks) was evaluated to be 0.37 sâ1. The average surface concentration of electro-active HRP on the surface of the modified glassy carbon electrode was calculated to be 9.43 Ã 10â9 mol cmâ2. The voltammetric results revealed that the peak current of the modified electrode increased linearly with increasing concentration of hydrogen peroxide (from 1Â nM to 4Â nM) with a detection limit of 2.88Â nM.
