Abstract
An amperometric enzyme-free hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor was developed by catalytically stabilizing active gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) of 4-5 nm on a porous titanium dioxide nanotube (TiO2 NTs) electrode. The Au NPs were homogeneously distributed on anatase TiO2 NTs with an outer diameter of ~102 nm, an inner diameter of ~60 nm, and a wall of thickness of ~40 nm. The cyclic voltammogram of the composite electrode showed a pair of redox peaks characterizing the electrocatalytic reduction of H2O2. The entrapping of Au NPs on TiO2 NTs prevented aggregation and facilitated good electrical conductivity and electron transfer rate, thus generating a wide linear range, a low detection limit of ~104 nM, and high sensitivity of ~519 µA/mM, as well as excellent selectivity, reproducibility, repeatability, and stability over 60 days. Furthermore, excellent recovery and relative standard deviation (RSD) were achieved in real samples, which were tap water, milk, and Lactobacillus plantarum bacteria, thereby verifying the accuracy and potentiality of the developed nonenzymatic sensor.

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
In this study the advantages of the electrochemical approach to the formation of polymer/metal nanoparticle composites are demonstrated. The method enables one to simplify the multistage processes of traditional technologies for the production of such materials through combining all intermediate processes in one stage and reducing the total formation time to 3–10 min. The possibility of a single-stage formation of a polymethylolacrylamide/AuNPs composite through including AuNPs into an electrically non-conducting polymethylolacrylamide film (carrier) formed by electropolymerization through potentiostatic electrolysis is also demonstrated for the first time. It is established that the addition of tetrachloroauric acid (HAuCl4·4H2O) into a monomeric composition containing acrylamide, formaldehyde, N,N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide, zinc chloride, and H2O results in simultaneous electrochemical initiation of polymerization with the formation of a polymer film on the cathode, electrolytic reduction of gold ions to Au0, and immobilization of AuNPs particles into the growing polymer matrix. It was found that the formation of the PMAA / AuNPs composite is energetically more favorable than the synthesis of the main PMAA film, since it proceeds at a lower cathodic potential. The inclusion of AuNPs into the polymethylolacrylamide film was confirmed visually, as well as by X-ray phase analysis, small-angle X-ray scattering, microscopy, and element analysis. The gold content in the composite increases along with the increase of the concentration of HAuCl4 in the electrolyte. The radius of the AuNPs particles was found to range between 3 and 7 nm. The AuNPs particles are spherical in shape and can combine into larger clusters containing up to 10 or more particles. The dynamics of formation, structure, and morphology of the polymethylolacrylamide/AuNPs composite were investigated. It was revealed that gold nanoparticles are mainly concentrated in the near-electrode and near-solution layers of the composite. We found that the composite has electrocatalytic activity. The possibility of its use as a sensor for hydrogen peroxide is demonstrated.

Abstract
The development of carbon-based materials to catalyze two-electron (2e-) pathway of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) offers great potential for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production. As a class of novel two-dimensional (2D) carbon materials, graphene and its derivatives have raised increasing attention as excellent noble-metal-free catalysts in 2e ORR due to their unique structure, physical and chemical properties. This review focuses on the synthesis of main graphene family members and graphene based electrodes, as well as their applications for H2O2 generation in electrochemical systems. We describe the functions of the graphene family in electrochemical systems, such as accelerating electron transfer and increasing oxygen transfer for cathodes in electrochemical systems, aiming to reveal the enhancement mechanisms of graphene and its derivatives on H2O2 production. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects for graphene family used as catalyst for H2O2 production in the future are also proposed.

Abstract
The electrochemical technique is one of the most accurate, rapid, and sensitive analytical assays, which becomes promising techniques for biological assays at a single-cell scale. Nanometals have been widely used for modification of the traditional electrodes to develop highly sensitive electrochemical cell chips. The electrochemical cell chips based on the nanostructured surface have been used as label-free, simple, and non-destructive techniques for in vitro monitoring of the effects of different anticancer drugs at the cellular level. Here, we will provide the recent progress in fabrication of nanopatterned surface and cell-based nanoarray, and discuss their applications based on electrochemical techniques such as detection of cellular states and chemicals, and non-destructive monitoring of stem cell differentiation.

Abstract
This review (162 references) focuses on two-dimensional carbon materials, which include graphene as well as its allotropes varying in size, number of layers, and defects, for their application in electrochemical sensors. Many preparation methods are known to yield two-dimensional carbon materials which are often simply addressed as graphene, but which show huge variations in their physical and chemical properties and therefore on their sensing performance. The first section briefly reviews the most promising as well as the latest achievements in graphene synthesis based on growth and delamination techniques, such as chemical vapor deposition, liquid phase exfoliation via sonication or mechanical forces, as well as oxidative procedures ranging from chemical to electrochemical exfoliation. Two-dimensional carbon materials are highly attractive to be integrated in a wide field of sensing applications. Here, graphene is examined as recognition layer in electrochemical sensors like field-effect transistors, chemiresistors, impedance-based devices as well as voltammetric and amperometric sensors. The sensor performance is evaluated from the material's perspective of view and revealed the impact of structure and defects of the 2D carbon materials in different transducing technologies. It is concluded that the performance of 2D carbon-based sensors is strongly related to the preparation method in combination with the electrical transduction technique. Future perspectives address challenges to transfer 2D carbon-based sensors from the lab to the market. Graphical abstract Schematic overview from synthesis and modification of two-dimensional carbon materials to sensor application.

Direct chemical vapor deposition of graphene on plasma-etched quartz glass combined with Pt nanoparticles as an independent transparent electrode for non-enzymatic sensing of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
In this work, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method-grown graphene on plasma-etched quartz glass supported platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs/eQG) was constructed as an independent transparent electrode for non-enzymatic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection. Graphene grown on quartz glass by the CVD method can effectively reduce the wrinkles and pollution caused by traditional transfer methods. The addition of the CF4 plasma-etched process accelerates the growth rate of graphene on quartz glass. The platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) prepared by in situ sputtering have favorable dispersibility and maximize exposed active catalytic sites on graphene, providing performance advantages in the application of H2O2 detection. The resulting sensor's detection limit (3.3 nM, S/N = 3), detection linear range (10 nM to 80 μM) and response time (less than 2 s) were significantly superior to other graphene supported PtNPs materials in sensing of H2O2. In addition, the material preparation method was related to the non-transfer CVD method and in situ sputtering technology, allowing for the creation of independent electrodes without additional electrode modification processes. This primitive material preparation and electrode assembly process were promoted for the application and development of practical H2O2 sensors.
