Galvanostatic deposition of Pt nanoparticles on TiO2 nanotube arrays for amperometric detection of hydrogen peroxide at low overpotentials

Highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays (NTAs) modified with Pt nanoparticles (Pt/TiO2 NTAs) have been prepared by anodization of Ti foils followed by electrochemical deposition and employed to improve the performance of the low-overpotential determination of H2O2 in solution.Morphologies of TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 NTAs were observed by SEM and TEM.The electrochemical behaviors of TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 NTAs were compared by cyclic voltammograms (CVs) in phosphate buffer solutions in absence and prensence of 10 mM H2O2, which showed that Pt nanoparticles can enhance the electrochemical activities of TiO2 NTAs and achieve low-overpotential determination of H2O2.Amperometric method with an applied potential of-100 mV was used for H2O2 detemination, which demonstrated a good H2O2 sensing with sensitivity of 5.4 μA·cm-2·mM-1.
