Microwave-assisted one-pot synthesis of Ag NPs/C and its application in H₂O₂ and glucose detection

Abstract

The facile preparation of Ag NPs/C via a one-pot strategy was carried out by microwave treatment of a mixed aqueous solution of AgNO₃ and glucose at 180 °C for 20 min without the presence of extra reducing agent. The as-synthesized Ag NPs/C showed high catalytic performance toward the reduction of H₂O₂. The H₂O₂ sensor constructed with as-synthesized Ag NPs/C exhibited a short amperometric response time of less than 2 s. The linear range was approximately (0.1―50) mmol/L(r=0.997), and the detection limit was approximately 3.3 μmol/L at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. A glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing glucose oxidase onto Ag NPs/Cmodified glassy carbon electrode to detect glucose. The glucose sensor had a wide linear response range of 2―22 mmol/L(r=0.999) and a detection limit of 190 μmol/L.
