Formation of MnO2-based electrodes with high catalytic activity on the surface of ITO for glucose detection

Maybe consider an alternative to Prussian Blue when measuring H₂O₂. In a recently accepted paper¹ we investigate electrodes based on manganese dioxide for determination of H₂O₂ and demonstrate this by addition of glucose oxidase to the electrode to make a glucose sensor.

MnO₂ is a good catalyst for decomposition of H₂O₂ at relatively low potential. However, the conditions of electrodeposition strongly affects the efficiency of the catalyst. In this manuscript we made a systematic study of MnO₂-based electrodes where the oxide had been electrodeposited using different techniques under different conditions.

The paper was the work of Veronika, who continued the work that she had started already back in Ukraine. We hope to continue the collaboration also after she has left to go back to her hometown.
