文摘

Nanoporous (NP) PdCu alloy is easily fabricated by dealloying PdCuAl ternary alloy in dilute sulfuric acid. Selectively dissolving Al from PdCuAl alloy generates the three-dimensional uniform nanosponge architecture with narrow ligament size distribution. Benefitting from the unique nanoporous architecture and the alloying effect, the as-made NP-PdCu exhibits outstanding sensing performance towards the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucose. Compared with NP-Pd and commercial Pd/C catalysts, the NP-PdCu alloy presents high sensitivity, wide linear range of 0.1–2.0 mM, low detection limit of 2.1 μM, and long-term stability toward H2O2 detection. In addition, the NP-PdCu can efficiently detect glucose in a wide concentration range (1–30 mM) with the low detection limit of 1.9 μM. Moreover, the NP-PdCu exhibits good anti-interference toward ascorbic acid, uric acid, and dopamine. Characterized by easy preparation, unique electrocatalytic activity, and high structure stability, the NP-PdCu alloy possesses great application prospect to construct platform for electrochemical sensing.
