A nanohybrid composite material was prepared from single-walled carbon nanotubes and silver nanoparticles, and used to fabricate a modified carbon-ceramic electrode. The preparation of the composite is facile and efficient. The nanohybrid composite deposited on the carbon-ceramic electrode was characterized by X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry. The new electrode displays favorable electrocatalytic ability towards hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and can be used to electrocatalytically reduce this species. Under the optimum conditions, the current measured during hydrodynamic amperometry is linearly related to the concentration of H2O2 over the concentration range from 0.01 to 8 mM, with a detection limit of 2x10(-7) M at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 and sensitivity of 3.23 mu A/mM. The electrode exhibits good reproducibility, long-term stability and negligible interference by dopamine, uric acid, and other important biological compounds. The electrode was successfully applied to the determination of H2O2 in honey samples, and the recovery was 101.2%.
