The electrochemical properties of the resulted sensor were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoam- perometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was found that the sensor exhibited good electrocatalytic activity towards H202 reduction with a wider linear range from 0.05 to 120 mmol.L-1, a detection limit of 8 gmol.L-1 and a fast response time less than 2 s. The sensor exhibited good selectivity for H202 determination in the presence of glucose, acetaminophen, ascorbic acid and uric acid.展开更多
