A new amperometric, nanostructured sensor for the analytical determination of hydrogen peroxide is proposed. This sensor was constructed by immobilizing silver nanoparticles in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film on a platinum electrode, which was performed by direct drop-casting silver nanoparticles that were capped in a PVA colloidal suspension. UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to give a complete characterization of the nanostructured film. Cyclic voltammetry experiments yielded evidence that silver nanoparticles facilitate hydrogen peroxide reduction, showing excellent catalytic activity. Moreover, the cronoamperometric response of modified sensors was dependent on nanoparticle lifetime. Experiments were performed, using freshly prepared solutions, after 4 and 8 days. Results concerning the quantitative analysis of hydrogen peroxide, in terms of detection limit, linear range, sensitivity and standard deviation (STD), are discussed for each tested sensor type. Utilization of two different linear ranges (40 mu M to 6 mM and 1.25 mu M to 1.0 mM) enabled the assessment of concentration intervals having up to three orders of magnitude. Moreover, the electrode made using a 4-day-old solution showed the maximal sensitivity of 128 nA mu M-1 (4090 nA mu M-1 cm(-1)), yielding a limit of detection of 1 mu M and STD of 2.5 mu A mM(-1). All of these analytical parameters make the constructed sensors suitable for peroxide determination in aqueous solution. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
