Abstract

We have fabricated copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber by electroless plating for the electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). The structural analysis confirms the formation of Cu NPs on PET fiber and they exhibit good electrochemical sensing towards H₂O₂ with an excellent sensitivity of 0.387 mA μM⁻¹ cm⁻² upon a low detection limit of 2 μM.
