Summary:Well-defined dendritic silver nanostructures were successfully synthesized by electrodeposition method. The morphologies of the nanostructures and the crystal structure have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The electrocatalytic activity of the dendritic silver nanostructures toward the electro-reduction of hydrogen peroxide has been examined by cyclic voltammetry and amperometric analysis. Based on this, electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide was performed with a linear range of 4 μM to36 μM and a detection limit of 0.9 μM.
