Abstract

As an important detection technology, how to realize the rapid detection of H2O2 is very important for the early diagnosis of some diseases. Herein, octahedral porous carbon composites containing Cu and MoO2 are prepared by using bimetallic metal–organic frame (MOF) NENU-5 as precursor. It is found that Cu and MoO2 nanoparticles of Cu-MoO2-C are uniformly dispersed in the porous carbon framework. For the electrochemical detection of H2O2, compared with the Cu-C composite without MoO2, Cu-MoO2-C shows stronger redox ability, higher sensitivity (121 μA mM−1 cm−2), and lower detection limit (95.5 nM). In addition, Cu-MoO2-C also shows strong anti-interference ability and H2O2 detection sensitivity in the presence of a variety of interference substances. Our work proves that MoO2 has a good H2O2 reduction ability, and it also proves that the H2O2 detection performance of the sensors can be improved by using the constructed metal–metal oxide-porous frame materials.
