Bioinspired synthesis provides a potential green method for creating functional nanomaterials on graphene supports. In this study, we demonstrate the preparation of hedgehog-like cupric oxide nanoclusters (CuONCs) on peptide-modified reduced graphene oxide (RGO-Pep) nanohybrids through a solution-phase synthesis in which the bound peptide molecules (GNNQQNYEE) mediate the non-covalent modification of GO and provide the adsorption of Cu[Formula: see text] ions and the nucleation sites for the growth of CuONCs. The synthesized RGO-Pep-CuONCs hybrids were further utilized for the modification of a glass carbon electrode to fabricate a non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). It was found that the fabricated H2O2 sensor exhibited good performances for sensing H2O2 with a detection limit of [Formula: see text]M and two wide linear detection ranges. In addition, this sensor revealed good selectivity and stability. It is expected that the strategies used in this study will be valuable to inspire the creation of various functional biomolecule- and graphene-based hybrid bionanomaterials for the applications in materials science, sensors, biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, nanotechnology, and other fields.

The electrodeposition of a film of reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) with well-dispersed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was achieved using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in a graphene oxide (GO) colloidal solution. Using square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry (SWASV), the ERGO film was applied for the first time, in developing a high-sensitive electrochemical sensor for detection of taxifolin. Compared with bare GCE, the resulting electrodes (ERGO/GCE) exhibited excellent response toward the oxidation of taxifolin by significantly enhancing the oxidation peak currents and the decreased peak-to-peak separation. Under selected conditions, the reduction peak currents had linear relationship with taxifolin concentration in the range of 5.0 × 10-8 – 1.5 × 10-6 mol L-1, with detection limit of 4.0 × 10-9 mol L-1. Besides, the method was successfully applied to the quantitative determination of taxifolin in the Prince's-feather fruit with satisfactory results.

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) supported platinum electrocatalyst was successfully synthesized on the glass carbon electrode by the electrodeposition method. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometry were used to evaluate the catalytic activity of the Pt/RGO modified electrode towards methanol oxidation. The results revealed that the as-prepared catalyst exhibited high electrocatalytic ability in methanol oxidation, which could be attributed to the excellent properties of the reduced graphene oxide as supporting materials.

Poly(methylene blue) and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide composite film modified electrode (PMB-ERGO/GCE) was successfully fabricated by electropolymerization and was used for simultaneous determination of uric acid (UA) and xanthine (Xa). Based on the excellent electrocatalytic activity of PMB-ERGO/GCE, the electrochemical behaviors of UA and Xa were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). Two anodic sensitive peaks at 0.630 V (versus Ag/AgCl) for UA and 1.006 V (versus Ag/AgCl) for Xa were given by CV in pH 3.0 phosphate buffer. The calibration curves for UA and Xa were obtained in the range of 8.00 × 10−8~4.00 × 10−4 M and 1.00 × 10−7~4.00 × 10−4 M, respectively, by SWV. The detection limits for UA and Xa were3.00×10-8 M and5.00×10-8 M, respectively. Finally, the proposed method was applied to simultaneously determine UA and Xa in human urine with good selectivity and high sensitivity.
