(a) CVs of different GCE under the absence (A and B) and presence (C and D) of 5mM H2O2 in N2-saturated 0.1 M PBS (pH = 7.0) at a scan rate of 50mVs. (A) Bare GCE (B and C) np-AuNPs/GCE, and (D) 4-carboxy-TEMPO-np-AuNPs/GCE. Optimization of experimental conditions: (b) CVs of the TEMPO -np-AuNPs/GCE in different pH values at the range of 2.0~9.0 and (c) the relationship between the net current at 0.95V with different pH. (d) CVs of TEMPO-np-AuNPs/GCE in 0.1 M PBS (pH = 7.0), in the presence 5 mM H2O2, in different times from 0 min to 60 min, N2-saturated, 50mVs. Inset: the changes of the electric current (1.6 V) with the time increasing.
