In this work, a new hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) electrochemical sensor was fabricated. Prussian blue (PB) was electrodeposited on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode modified with zirconia doped functionalized carbon nanotubes (ZrO2-fCNTs), (PB/ZrO2-fCNTs/GC). The morphology and structure of the nanostructured system were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), specific surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA). Zirconia nanocrystallites (6.6 ± 1.8 nm) with cubic crystal structure were directly synthesized on the fCNTs walls, obtaining a well dispersed distribution with a high surface area. The experimental results indicate that the ZrO2-fCNTs nanostructured system exhibits good electrochemical properties and could be tunable by enhancing the modification conditions and method of synthesis. The fabricated sensor could be used to efficiently detect H2O2, presenting a good linear relationship between the H2O2 concentration and the peak current, with quantification limit (LQ) of the 10.91 μmol·L−1 and detection limit (LD) of 3.5913 μmol·L−1.

This study aimed to improve the performance of the activated carbon-based cathode by increasing the Li content and to analyze the effect of the combination of carbon and oxidizing agent. The crystal structure and chemical structure phase of Li-high surface area activated carbon material (Li-HSAC) was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, the surface state and quantitative element by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and the surface properties with pore-size distribution by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) and t-plot methods. The specific surface area of the Li-YP80F is 1063.2 m2/g, micropore volume value is 0.511 cm3/g and mesopore volume is 0.143 cm3/g, and these all values are higher than other LiOH-treated carbon. The surface functional group was analyzed by a Boehm titration, and the higher number of acidic groups compared to the target facilitated the improved electrolyte permeability, reduced the interface resistance and increased the electrochemical properties of the cathode. The oxidizing agent of LiOH treated high surface area of activated carbon was used for the cathode material for EDLC (electric double layer capacitor) to determine its electrochemical properties and the as-prepared electrode retained excellent performance after 10 cycles and 100 cycles. The anodic and cathodic peak current value and peak segregation of Li-YP80F were better than those of the other two samples, due to the micropore-size and physical properties of the sample. The oxidation peak current value appeared at 0.0055 mA/cm2 current density and the reduction peak value at –0.0014 mA/cm2, when the Li-YP80F sample used to the Cu-foil surface. The redox peaks appeared at 0.0025 mA/cm2 and –0.0009 mA/cm2, in the case of using a Nickel foil, after 10 cycling test. The electrochemical stability of cathode materials was tested by 100 recycling tests. After 100 recycling tests, peak current drop decreased the peak profile became stable. The LiOH-treated high surface area of activated carbon had synergistically upgraded electrochemical activity and superior cycling stability that were demonstrated in EDLC.
