A mimic peroxidase biosensor based on calcined layered double hydroxide for detection of H2O2.

An enzymeless biosensor was explored from Cu-Mg-Al calcined layered double hydroxide (CLDH) modified electrode in this study. The Cu-Mg-Al CLDH greatly promotes the electron transfer between H(2)O(2) and GCE, and it is exemplified toward the non-enzymatic sensing of H(2)O(2). The results indicate that the Cu-Mg-Al CLDH exhibits excellent electrocatalytic property, high sensitivity, good reproducibility, long-term stability, and fast amperometric response toward reduction of H(2)O(2), thus is promising for the future development of man-made mimics of enzyme in H(2)O(2) sensors. This work opens a way to utilize simply Cu-Mg-Al CLDH as an electron mediator to fabricate an efficient H(2)O(2) biosensor, which exhibits great potential applications in varieties of simple, robust, and easy-to-make analytical approaches in the future.
