Sumario:A zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite was formed by using an efficient synthetic method. The morphology and structure of the ZIF-8/rGO nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron spectroscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) mapping. The ZIF-8/rGO nanocomposites were immobilized on a carbon paste electrode (CPE) to construct a high-performance nonenzymatic electrochemical H(2)O(2) sensor. A cyclic voltammetry (CV) study showed that the ZIF-8/rGO nanocomposites displayed better electrocatalytic activity toward H(2)O(2) reduction compared to that of ZIF-8. An amperometric study indicated that the H(2)O(2) sensor displayed high performance, which offered a low detection limit (0.05 μM) (S/N = 3), a high sensitivity (4.01 μA mM(−1) cm(−2)), and a wide linear range (from 1.0 to 625 μM). An electrochemical reaction mechanism was proposed for H(2)O(2) reduction on the ZIF-8/rGO/CPE. Importantly, the as-fabricated H(2)O(2) sensor exhibited good reproducibility and excellent selectivity. Furthermore, the constructed high-performance sensor was utilized to monitor the H(2)O(2) levels in real samples, and satisfactory results were obtained. These results demonstrated that the ZIF-8/rGO nanocomposite can be used as a good electrochemical sensor material in practical applications.
