Electrochemical sensing of H2O2 by the modified electrode with pd nanoparticles on multi-walled carbon nanotubes-g-poly(lactic acid)

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2014 Jun;14(6):4050-7. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2014.8258.

Abstract

A simple method has adapted to prepare MWCNT grafted Poly(lactic acid) (MWCNT-g-PLA) by intercalative polymerization of poly(lactic acid) in the presence of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) functionalized with hydroxyl groups. The functionalized MWCNT has obtained from the treatment of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) with MWCNT, and then the reaction with 1,4-butanediol (BD) to create functional hydroxyl groups. MWCNT-g-PLA-Pd and MWCNT-g-PLA-Pt have prepared from the MWCNT-g-PLA and metal precursors. The synthesized materials have characterized by 1H-NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The MWCNT-g-PLA-Pd is possibilities for employing to electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide. Electrocatalytic activities are verified from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometric response in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The biosensor provided good stability and selectivity towards interferences such as UA, AA, and glucose.
