Direct growth of ordered PdCu and Co doped PdCu nanoparticles on graphene oxide based on a one-step hydrothermal method for ultrasensitive sensing of H2O2 in living cells

Abstract

Ordered PdCu and Co doped PdCu nanoparticles have been synthesized on graphene oxide (GO). The obtained Co–PdCu/GO composites were used to fabricate a H₂O₂ electrochemical sensor which exhibits an ultralow LOD (limit of detection) of 1.2 nM and an extra broad linear range of 5 nM–5.774 mM, and has been used to detect H₂O₂ in living cells successfully.
