Abstract
A novel hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) potentiometric sensor, made with a MnO2-doped carbon paste electrode (CPE),
is reported. Under optimum conditions, the electrode gives a Nernstian response for H2O2 in the concentration range
3.00 10 7 3.6310 4 mol/l, with a slope of 21 19.4 mV/pH2O2 and a detection limit of 1.2 10 7mol/l H2O2.
In addition, this sensor offers some analytical characteristics such as sensitivity, good reproducibility and a simple
preparation procedure. The effects of both the components of the electrode and other conditions on the potential
response of the sensor, as well as the possible response mechanism, are discussed. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All

1. Introduction
Chemically modified electrodes [1 3] as useful
analytical tools have been widely used in different
research fields since more analytical possibilities
[47] are offered by electrode manufacture. However, only a few analytical applications have employed chemically modified electrodes as
potentiometric sensors [8 13], and the modified
methods of the electrodes often involve covalent
attachment and polymeric films to the surface of
based electrodes [14 16], so the preparation of
these potentiometric sensors often suffers from
the complex preparation process of the based* Corresponding author. Tel.: +86-29-5235570.

2. Experimental
2.1. Reagents
All reagents were of analytical-reagent grade
or better and water doubly-distilled in a fusedsilica apparatus was used throughout the experiment. A stock solution of H2O2 (0.100 mol/l)
was prepared by diluting 5.5 ml of 30% v/v
H2O2 (Shanghai Chemical Reagents Plant) to
500 ml with water. The solution was standardized
2.2. Apparatus
The potentials were measured with a PHX215 ION-meter (Shanghai Second Analytical
Instrument Plant, China).The reference electrode was a saturated calomel electrode (SCE)
and the 0.10 mol/l NH3 NH4Cl buffer solution
(pH 8.50) was stirred with a Teflon-coated magnetic bar during measurement. The electrochemical cell used can be represented by
CuMnO2-modified carbon pastesample solution
(0.10 mol/, pH 8.50, NH+
4 NH3 buffer solution)
SCE.
