Sulfur-doped graphene-supported Ag nanoparticles for nonenzymatic hydrogen peroxide detection
Source abstract
Abstract
Heteroatom doping is an effective way to modulate the physicochemical properties of graphene and its hybrid materials. In this work, sulfur-doped graphene (SG) was used for the first time as a supporting material for loading Ag nanoparticles, and the resulting Ag/SG hybrid with a high S-doping level (2.8 at.%) and a uniform Ag NP decoration was successfully prepared by a microwave-assisted method. Electrochemical measurements revealed that the Ag/SG exhibited a better electrocatalytic activity toward H2O2 reduction than undoped Ag/reduced graphene oxide, which highlighted the important role of S-doping that could not only improve the charge transfer, but also introduce more defects as active sites. The nonenzymatic sensor based on Ag/SG displayed good sensing performances for highly sensitive, selective, and stable detection of H2O2, demonstrating that SG is indeed a promising catalyst-supporting material for electrochemical sensing.
