Literature Seminar Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a redox molecule produced in many enzymatic reactions and therefore an important analyte to detect for biosensors. Although electrochemical detection of H2O2 is commonly used, many commercial applications are limited by expensive electrode materials. Graphene oxide has become of particular interest as a cheaper alternative for electrode material. Specifically, graphene aerogel (synthesized from graphene oxide) with cuprous oxide (Cu2O) catalyst has been reported an inexpensive option with excellent selectivity and sensitivity for H2O2.
