An amperometric chemosensor based on 1,4-benzoquinone immobilized on a gold electrode exhibits electrocatalytic effect on the oxidative decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The sensor shows linear response up to 2.5 mM concentration range with a detection limit of approximately 4 μM.
An amperometric chemosensor for the detection of hydrogen peroxide is reported. The sensor is based on 1,4-benzoquinone immobilized on the gold electrode using self-assembled monolayer of short chain symmetrical dithiol as an anchor layer. Sensor analysis was performed by cyclic voltammetry at the potential range from -0.6 V till +0.9 V as well as in the anodic or cathodic potential ranges only. The results indicate oxidative electrochemical decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at the potential of similar to+0.4 V leading to the formation of oxygen while at cathodic potentials a reduction of the formed oxygen as well as of the hydrogen peroxide occur. A decrease in the oxidation potential of hydrogen peroxide on the gold electrode coated by self-assembled monolayer with 1,4-benzoquinone in comparison with that measured on the electrodes coated by the same self-assembled monolayer without 1,4-benzoquinone, indicates electrocatalytic effect of this moiety on oxidative decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Analytical evaluation of the sensor performance was done in the voltammetric as well as in the chronoamperometric mode. The sensor exhibited linear response over the concentration range till 2.5 mM with a limit of detection similar to 4 mu M.
