Facile one pot synthesis of sulphur doped graphene for non-enzymatic sensing of hydrogen peroxide.

Herein we demonstrated the preparation of sulphur-doped graphene (SG) prepared via hydrothermal route. The resulted material is used for making highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor platform for accurate quantification of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). Structural features and surface morphology of synthesised materials are fully examined using High resolution Transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy techniques. In addition to that, electrochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) are used to quantify the electron transfer kinetics and electro catalytic activity, these results inveterate it is due to strong electron donating ability of doped sulphur (S) atom and edge plane sites in SG that promotes the electron transfer process at electrode-electrolyte interface. The SG modified glassy carbon electrode (SG/GCE) exhibited finite selectivity; sensitivity stability with a regression coefficient (R2) value is 0.99 towards H2O2 estimation. The above observation conclude that these results are finest report to scrutinise the electrochemical properties of Graphene network by doping with Sulphur atom and it served as an important benchmark for the development of inexpensive SG based sensor platforms for electrochemical biosensor applications.
