▎ 摘  要

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is becoming significant due to its extensive applications, so determination of H2O2 is very important topic in analytical chemistry. Metal-free "graphene alloy" nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) heteroatoms co-doped reduced graphene oxide (NS-rGO) was produced via a simple one-step thermal annealing procedure using a mixture of 5-amino-2-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AMT) and graphene oxide (GO). The obtained metal-free NS-rGO composite showed better electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of H2O2 compared with the reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The enhanced performance was caused by the synergistic effect of N and S co-doping. Under optimum conditions, the constructed sensor demonstrated a linear response to H2O2 in the range of 7-18000 mu M, with a lower detection limit of 0.45 mu M (S/N=3), even better than some reported sensors based on noble metal nanoparticles. Moreover, the proposed sensor exhibited excellent analytical performance in terms of acceptable selectivity, excellent reproducibility and long-time stability. These results indicated that the NS-rGO composite was a promising metal-free electrocatalytic material for constructing H2O2 sensors. Additionally, NS-rGO composite was expected to be applied as catalysts for fuel cell applications, even for applications beyond fuel cells.
