Abstract:
Two different hydrogen peroxide sensors were constructed with Ni/Al and Co/Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). Ni (Co)/Al-LDHs were synthesized by electrochemical method and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The advantages and shortcoming of the two hydrogen peroxide sensors were described in detail. Compared to Co/Al-LDHs modified electrode, sensors fabricated by Ni/Al-LDHs showed quicker heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants (k(s)), lower detection and better reproducibility. But Co/Al-LDHs modified electrode held the advantages of wider linear range and higher sensitivity. Further more, the different catalytic redox mechanisms of hydrogen peroxide on the Ni/Al/GCE and Co/Al/GCE were firstly comparatively explored.

The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
An alternative to SHE is the Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). This electrode features an...
