A Facile One-Step Synthesis of Cuprous Oxide/Silver Nanocomposites as Efficient Electrode-Modifying Materials for Nonenzyme Hydrogen Peroxide Sensor
Cuprous oxide/silver (Cu<sub>2</sub>O/Ag) nanocomposites were prepared via a facile one-step method and used to construct an electrochemical sensor for hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) detection. In this method, AgNO<sub>3</sub> and Cu(NO...
