Design and fabrication of cost-effective and sensitive non-enzymatic hydrogen peroxide sensor using Co-doped δ-MnO2 flowers as electrode modifier

The development of a cost-effective and highly sensitive hydrogen peroxide sensor is of great importance. Electrochemical sensing is considered the most sensitive technique for hydrogen peroxide detection. Herein, we reported a cost-effective and highly sensitive hydrogen peroxide sensor using Co-doped delta-MnO2 (Co@delta-MnO2) flower-modified screen-printed carbon electrode. The delta-MnO2 and Co@delta-MnO2 flowers were synthesized by employing a hydrothermal approach. Advanced techniques such as PXRD, SEM, FTIR, Raman, UV, EDX, BET, and TEM were utilized to confirm the formation of delta-MnO2 and Co-doped delta-MnO2 flowers. The fabricated sensor exhibited an excellent detection limit (0.12 mu M) and sensitivity of 5.3 mu A mu M-1 cm(-2).
