Sumario:A colorimetric sensor based on nanoparticles was developed for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. Nanoparticles were made using small sheets of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and silver nitrate. The optical properties of the solution were characterized by spectrophotometer using the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon. The shape and size of the nanoparticles were obtained using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Silver-poly(methyl methacrylate) nanoparticles solution (AgNP-PMMA) proved to be particularly sensitive to hydrogen peroxide compared to other analytes. This sensor provided a quick, practical and easy tool to detect hydrogen peroxide.
