Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:4487-4499. [PMID: 36933056 PMCID: PMC10329077 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04640-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023]
Abstract
In this present study, we explored the catalytic behaviors of the in situ generated metal nanoparticles, i.e., Pt/Ni, embedded in laser-induced carbon nanofibers (LCNFs) and their potential for H2O2 detection under physiological conditions. Furthermore, we demonstrate current limitations of laser-generated nanocatalyst embedded within LCNFs as electrochemical detectors and possible strategies to overcome the issues. Cyclic voltammetry revealed the distinctive electrocatalytic behaviors of carbon nanofibers embedding Pt and Ni in various ratios. With chronoamperometry at +0.5 V, it was found that modulation of Pt and Ni content affected only current related to H2O2 but not other interfering electroactive substances, i.e., ascorbic acid (AA), uric acid (UA), dopamine (DA), and glucose. This implies that the interferences react to the carbon nanofibers regardless of the presence of metal nanocatalysts. Carbon nanofibers loaded only with Pt and without Ni performed best in H2O2 detection in phosphate-buffered solution with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.4 µM, a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 5.7 µM, a linear range from 5 to 500 µM, and a sensitivity of 15 µA mM-1 cm-2. By increasing Pt loading, the interfering signals from UA and DA could be minimized. Furthermore, we found that modification of electrodes with nylon improves the recovery of H2O2 spiked in diluted and undiluted human serum. The study is paving the way for the efficient utilization of laser-generated nanocatalyst-embedding carbon nanomaterials for non-enzymatic sensors, which ultimately will lead to inexpensive point-of-need devices with favorable analytical performance.

Abstract
H2O2 sensing is required in various biological and industrial applications, for which electrochemical sensing is a promising choice among various sensing technologies. Electrodes and electrocatalysts strongly influence the performance of electrochemical H2O2 sensors. Significant efforts have been devoted to electrode nanostructural designs and nanomaterial-based electrocatalysts. Here, we review the design strategies for electrodes and electrocatalysts used in electrochemical H2O2 sensors. We first summarize electrodes in different structures, including rotation disc electrodes, freestanding electrodes, all-in-one electrodes, and representative commercial H2O2 probes. Next, we discuss the design strategies used in recent studies to increase the number of active sites and intrinsic activities of electrocatalysts for H2O2 redox reactions, including nanoscale pore structuring, conductive supports, reducing the catalyst size, alloying, doping, and tuning the crystal facets. Finally, we provide our perspectives on the future research directions in creating nanoscale structures and nanomaterials to enable advanced electrochemical H2O2 sensors in practical applications.

Abstract
A simple hydrothermal process has been used to prepare a carbon nanofiber/copper chromium dioxide (CNF/CuCrO2) composite for the selective detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and supercapacitor applications. The electrochemical sensor was developed with a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with the CNF/CuCrO2 composite by the drop-casting method. The structural formation of the prepared materials was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. To investigate the electrochemical efficiency of the electrode, various electroanalytical techniques, namely, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge–discharge tests, were employed. The GCE/CNF/CuCrO2 modified electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic behavior for the detection of 4-NP under optimized conditions with a low detection limit (0.022 μM), long linear response range of 0.1–150 μM, and high sensitivity (20.02 μA μM−1 cm−2). The modified electrode was used for the detection of 4-NP in real samples with satisfactory results. In addition, the GCE/CNF/CuCrO2 electrode has advantages such as stability, reproducibility, repeatability, reliability, low cost, and practical application. The CNF/CuCrO2 composite coated Ni-foam electrodes also exhibited excellent supercapacitor efficiency, with a high specific capacitance of up to 159 F g−1 at a current density of 5 A g−1 and outstanding cycling stability. Hence, the CNF/CuCrO2 composite is a suitable material for 4-NP sensors and energy storage applications. A simple hydrothermal process has been used to prepare a carbon nanofiber/copper chromium dioxide (CNF/CuCrO2) composite for the selective detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and supercapacitor applications.![]()

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were prepared by an electrospinning method, this followed by a hydrothermal reaction or nitrogen plasma treatment to obtain electrode for non-enzymatic amperometric sensing of H2O2. The hydrothermally treated electrode performs better. Its electrochemical surface is 3.7 × 10-3 mA cm-2, which is larger than that of a nitrogen plasma treated electrode (8.9 × 10-4) or a non-doped CNF (2.45 × 10-4 mA cm-2). The hydrothermally treated CNF with rough surface and a complex profile with doped N has a higher sensitivity (357 μA∙mM-1∙cm-2), a lower detection limit (0.62 μM), and a wider linear range (0.01-0.71 mM) than N-CNFP at a working potential of -0.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The electrode gave high recoveries when applied to the analysis of milk samples spiked with H2O2. Graphical abstract Nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers prepared by an electrospinning method followed by a hydrothermal reaction (N-CNFht) or nitrogen plasma treatment (N-CNFP) are directly used as non-enzymatic amperometric H2O2 sensors.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized using a facile solvothermal method with alginate sodium as both reductant and stabilizer. Formation of AuNPs was confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopic analysis. The synthesized AuNPs showed a localized surface plasmon resonance at approximately 520-560 nm. The AuNPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and dynamic light scattering. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the AuNPs were mostly nanometer-sized spherical particles. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis proved the formation of face-centered cubic structure of Au. Catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol was monitored via spectrophotometry using AuNPs as catalyst, and further a non-enzymatic sensor was fabricated. The results demonstrated that AuNPs presented excellent catalytic activity and provided a sensitive response to H₂O₂ detection.

Abstract
The Cu@Pt/C nanocomposites have been synthesized via two-step reduction method. Electrochemical observations showed that the Cu@Pt/C had better electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide than Pt/C, with a wide linear range between 0.50μM and 32.56mM, a high sensitivity of 351.3μAmM-1cm-2, and a low detection limit of 0.15μM (signal/noise=3). Furthermore, the sensor based on Cu@Pt/C has potential applications due to its excellent long-time stability, good reproducibility and acceptable selectivity.

Abstract
Nanostructured electrochemical sensors often suffer from irreversible aggregation and poor adhesion to the supporting materials, resulting in reduced sensitivity and selectivity over time. We describe a versatile method for fabrication of a H2O2 sensor by immobilizing copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs; 20 nm) on graphene oxide (GO) sheets via in-situ reduction of copper(II) on a polydopamine (PDA) coating on a glassy carbon electrode. The PDA film with its amino groups and catechol groups acts as both a reductant and an adhesive that warrants tight bonding between the Cu NPs and the support. The modified electrode, best operated at a working voltage of −0.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), has a linear response to H2O2 in the 5 μM to 12 mM concentration range, a sensitivity of 141.54 μA∙mM‾1∙cm‾2, a response time of 4 s, and a 1.4 μM detection limit (at an S/N ratio of 3). The sensor is highly reproducible and selective (with minimal interference to ascorbic acid and uric acid). The method was applied to the determination of H2O2 in sterilant by the standard addition method and gave recoveries between 97% and 99%.
