Abstract

The electrocatalytic properties of Au₂₄Pt(SR)₁₈ (shortly: Au₂₄Pt) clusters protected by n-butanethiol C₄H₉SH haven't been characterized in detail yet. The platinum atom, surrounded by delocalized electrons in the gold core Au₁₂Pt, exhibits different behaviour compared to atoms in pure platinum nanoparticles. In this study we confirm this phenomenon by demonstrating a strong electrocatalytic effect for the electrooxidation and electroreduction of hydrogen peroxide using a gold working electrode modified with a Nafion-suspended product containing Au₂₄Pt clusters (Nafion – perfluorosulfonic copolymer). The currents measured at constant potentials of ±0.5 V versus an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, and hydrogen peroxide molarities ranging from 1 to 10 mM, show a linear dependence with a high correlation coefficient of up to 0.999. Due to the durability of the modified electrodes in water-based solutions and the reproducibility of the results, this technique appears promising for detecting the hydrogen peroxide in biological samples without damaging the sample, provided it remains stable within the specified potential range.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied. Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
