Abstract
Dumbbell-like Pt(x)Pd(100-x)-Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and studied for electrocatalytic reduction and sensing of H(2)O(2). In 0.1 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, the 4-10 nm Pt(x)Pd(100-x)-Fe(3)O(4) NPs showed the Pt/Pd composition-dependent catalysis with Pt(48)Pd(52)-Fe(3)O(4) NPs having the best activity. The Pt(48)Pd(52)-Fe(3)O(4) NPs were tested for H(2)O(2) detection, and their H(2)O(2) detection limit reached 5 nM, which was suitable for monitoring H(2)O(2) generated from Raw 264.7 cells. These dumbbell-like PtPd-Fe(3)O(4) NPs are the most sensitive probe ever reported and can be used to achieve real-time quantitative detection of H(2)O(2) in biological environment for biological and biomedical applications.Entities:
