Enzyme-MXene Nanosheets: Fabrication and Application in Electrochemical Detection of H2O2

Two-dimensional MXene nanosheets with vertical junction structure was employed for easy immobilization of horse radish peroxidase enzymes to fabricate the electrochemical hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) biosensor. The synthesized MXene nanosheets exhibited large specific area, excellent electronic conductivity and good dispersion in aqueous phase. Horse Radish Peroxidase (HRP) enzymes molecules immobilized on MXene/chitosan/GCE electrode demonstrated good electrocatalytic activity toward reduction of H 2 O 2 . The fabricated HRP@MXene/chitosan/GCE biosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 5 to 1650 molL 1 , a limit of detection of 0.74 molL 1 and good operation stability. The fabricated biosensor was successfully employed for detection of trace level of H 2 O 2 in both solid and liquid food.
