Hydrothermal synthesis of ultra-highly concentrated, well-stable Ag nanoparticles and their application for enzymeless hydrogen peroxide detection
Source abstract
Abstract
In this article, we have reported on the synthesis of ultra-highly concentrated (5.88 M), well-stable Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs). The AgNPs were formed by hydrothermal heat treatment of an aqueous solution of poly [(2-ethyldimethylammonioethyl methacrylate ethyl sulfate)-co-(1-vinylpyrrolidone)] (PQ11), a kind of cationic polyeletrolyte, in the presence of AgNO3 powder at 170 °C, without the additional step of introducing other reducing agents and protective agents. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations reveal that the as-formed AgNPs mainly consist of small nanoparticles about 10 nm in diameter. Most importantly, it was found that such dispersion can form stable films on bare electrode surfaces and the AgNPs contained therein still exhibit notable catalytic performance for reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This H2O2 sensor has a fast amperometric response time of less than 3 s. Its linear range is estimated to be from 0.1 to 60 mM (r = 0.993), and the detection limit is estimated to be 1.6 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.
