Atomic layer deposition of Pt nanoparticles onto Co/MoN nanoarrays for improved electrochemical detection of H2O2†
Abstract
The design and preparation of advanced nanocatalysts for the sensitive electrochemical detection of H2O2 is of great significance. Herein, a facile Pt@Co/MoN sensing platform was fabricated by depositing Pt nanoparticles onto Co/MoN nanoarrays using atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology. Benefitting from the unique nanostructure and the strong interaction between Pt and the nitride support, the prepared Pt@Co/MoN exhibited excellent performance in the electrochemical detection of H2O2. This work provides an interesting strategy to fabricate low-Pt electrocatalysts on a nanoarray support for future applications in electroanalysis.
