In this paper, Ni@Co3O4-s-rGO was synthesized and constructed as a non-enzymatic sensor to detect hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). The prepared sample was characterized using SEM–EDX, UV–vis, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. In 0.1 Mphosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the fabricated Ni@Co3O4-s-rGO amperometric sensor demonstrated a high sensitivity of 160.3 μA·mM⁻1 towards H2O2 within the linear detection range of 1 to 2000 μM. The detection limit was also determinedas 3.6 μM. Furthermore, the Ni@Co3O4-s-rGO catalyst demonstrated high selectivity towards H2O2,even in the presenceof common interferents. The enhanced electrochemical sensing ability of the catalyst is attributed to the synergy of three factors: the relatively large electrode active area, the high electrical conductivity, and the electron mo...

n this study, we prepared a novel electrocatalyst based on S doped reduced graphene layer modified with Ni and ZnO nanoparticles. The catalyst materials were characterized by X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), and mapping. Because of the synergistic effect between three materials (S, Ni, and ZnO), the new electrocatalyst finally formed with a large electroactive surface area. Through the measurement, it was concluded that this surface includes large active sites which can effectively improve the electron transfer rate. The electrocatalytic activity of Ni-ZnO@s-rGO toward H2O2 reduction was examined via some measurements such as CV, I-t measurement, and electrochemical imped...
