Deskripsi
A super-porous hybrid platform can offer significantly increased number of reaction sites for the analytes and thus can offer advantages in the biosensor applications. In this work, a significantly improved sensitivity and selectivity of hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) detection is demonstrated by a super-porous hybrid CuO/Pt nanoparticle (NP) platform on Si substrate as the first demonstration. The super-porous hybrid platform is fabricated by a physiochemical approach combining the physical vapor deposition of Pt NPs and electrochemical deposition of super-porous CuO structures by adopting a dynamic hydrogen bubble technique. Under an optimized condition, the hybrid CuO/Pt biosensor demonstrates a very high sensitivity of 2205 µA/mM·cm<sup>2</sup> and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 140 nM with a wide detection range of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. This is meaningfully improved performance as compared to the previously reported CuO-based H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> sensors as well as to the other metal oxide-based H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> sensors. The hybrid CuO/Pt platform exhibits an excellent selectivity against other interfering molecules such as glucose, fructose, dopamine, sodium chloride and ascorbic acid. Due to the synergetic effect of highly porous CuO structures and underlying Pt NPs, the CuO/Pt architecture offers extremely abundant active sites for the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> reduction and electron transfer pathways.
