▎ 摘  要

Here we report a facile eco-friendly one-step electrochemical approach for the fabrication of a polypyrrole (PPy), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and gold nanoparticles (nanoAu) biocomposite on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electrochemical behaviors of PPy-RGO-nanoAu and its application to electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Graphene oxide and pyrrole monomer were first mixed and casted on the surface of a cleaned GCE. After an electrochemical processing consisting of the electrooxidation of pyrrole monomer and simultaneous electroreduction of graphene oxide and auric ions (Au3+) in aqueous solution, a PPy-RGO-nanoAu biocomposite was synthesized on GCE. Each component of PPy-RGO-nanoAu is electroactive without non-electroactive substance. The obtained PPy-RGO-nanoAu/GCE exhibited high electrocatalytic activity toward hydrogen peroxide, which allows the detection of hydrogen peroxide at a negative potential of about -0.62 V vs. SCE. The amperometric responses of the biosensor displayed a sensitivity of 40 mu A/mM, a linear range of 32 mu M-2 mM, and a detection limit of 2.7 mu M (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) with good stability and acceptable reproducibility and selectivity. The results clearly demonstrate the potential of the as-prepared PPy-RGO-nanoAu biocomposite for use as a highly electroactive matrix for an amperometric biosensor.
