Abstract
We demonstrate here a facile and effective strategy to prepare reduced graphene oxide-platinum nanoparticle (RGO-PtNP) nanohybrids by the mediation of graphite-specific peptide (GSP). For the first time, we found that GSP can be used to modify RGO non-covalently in one way, and in another way promote the formation of PtNPs on RGO as a biomolecular bridge. The created RGO-PtNP nanohybrids show enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward H2O2 and can be utilized to fabricate non-enzymatic electrochemical H2O2 sensor.
