Preparation of graphene/Au aerogel film through the hydrothermal process and application for H2O2 detection

摘要

In this paper, one-step preparation of graphene/gold nanoparticle hydrogel film through the hydrothermal method is reported. The hydrogel film could be formed on a glass substrate under hydrothermal conditions, and upon freeze-drying, the aerogel film of 40 μm thickness with satisfying flexibility and strength is obtained. The aerogel composite film is characterized by scanning/transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Moreover, the aerogel film is directly used as the electrochemical electrode for sensing H _(2) O _(2) , and exhibits good performance with a broad linear range, low detection limit and excellent selectivity. This work provides a route for the fabrication of graphene film material with wide potential in various aspects.
