Because the Chromium Hexacyanoferrate possesses the excellent catalytic characteristic, it can be used with the graphite carbon powders and carbon paste to make the carbon paste electrode to elevate the sensitivity of responding current of hydrogen peroxide. The
responding current of hydrogen peroxide can be detected in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and then the concentration of hydrogen peroxide can be determined. The glucose and oxygen can be catalyzed by the glucose oxidase and the glucose is oxidized to gluconic acid and the
oxygen is reduced to hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, as the concentration of hydrogen peroxide can be determined the concentration of the glucose can also be determined. A study was conducted to use the Coprecipitation method to prepare the Chromium Hexacyanoferrate .
The Chromium Hexacyanoferrate was used to modify the carbon paste electrode [ Chromium Hexacyanoferrate : graphite carbon powders = 3 : 7(weight ratio)] to elevate the sensitivity of responding current of detection of hydrogen peroxide. The CV ( Cyclic Voltammetry )
diagrams were plotted for the carbon paste electrode modified with Chromium Hexacyanoferrate ( Chromium Hexacyanoferrate : graphite carbon powders : carbon paste = 0.3 : 0.7 : 1) and the unmodified carbon paste electrode. The results showed that the responding
current for the carbon paste electrode modified with Chromium Hexacyanoferrate was elevated significantly. At 30℃, 700rpm stirring rate and in 0.05 M phosphate buffer solution (pH=7.4), the TB (Time Base) graphs for the carbon paste electrode at different operating
potentials were plotted to evaluate the effect of the operating potential on the responding current of detection of hydrogen peroxide. At the optimum operating conditions -200mV operating potential, 700 rpm stirring rate and in 0.05M PBS buffer solution ( pH = 7.4 ) , the
detection limit was 0.02 mM H2O2 , the linear range was 0.02～2.8 mM H2O2 , R2 = 0.9999 and the sensitivity was 242.57µA/cm2．mM H2O2.
INTRODUCTION
RESULTS
Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in the industry and food preservation, and therefore developing a
hydrogen peroxide sensor which can detect the hydrogen peroxide rapidly and conveniently is an
important research subject. In recent years, diabetes has become one of the top ten causes of death for
the people in our country. Therefore developing a rapid and convenient glucose biosensor also has
become an important research subject. Because the chromium hexacyanoferrate (Ⅱ)possesses the
excellent catalytic characteristic it can be used with the carbon paste and graphite carbon powders which
possess the excellent conductivity to make the carbon paste electrode and to elevate the responding
current of the hydrogen peroxide. The carbon paste electrode is used to detect the responding current of
hydrogen peroxide in PBS buffer solution and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide can be determined
from the responding current of hydrogen peroxide. The glucose and oxygen can be catalyzed by the
glucose oxidase to produce gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, and the concentration of the glucose can
then be determined. A study was conducted to use the chromium hexacyanoferrate (Ⅱ) [chromium
hexacyanoferrate (Ⅱ) : graphite carbon powders = 3 : 7(weight ratio)] to modify the carbon paste
electrode to elevate the responding current of detection of the hydrogen peroxide at different operating
potentials. The TB (Time Base ) graphs and calibration curves for different operating potentials were
plotted to determine the optimum operating conditions in this research.

Take one section of 7 cm electric wire with 0.05 cm inside diameter. After depriving
the coating 0.5 cm length from both ends, the nake-ended wire was washed, dried and
ready for use. Then the chromium hexacyanoferrate (Ⅱ) powders, graphite carbon
powders and carbon paste were mixed with the appropriate ratio (chromium
hexacyanoferrate (Ⅱ) : graphite carbon powders : carbon paste = 0.3 : 0.7 : 1). After
the mixing was complete, the mixture was evenly coated on the nake-ended electric
wire and dried in the oven and then we obtained the carbon paste electrode.

CONCLUSIONS
The results showed that the responding current for the carbon paste electrode modified with the chromium hexacyanoferrate (Ⅱ)
was elevated significantly. The TB (Time Base ) graphs at different operating potentials were plotted to evaluate the effect of the
operating potential on the responding current of detection of hydrogen peroxide and determine the optimum operating conditions.
Because when the operating potential was -250mV, it caused the detection to be unstable, -200mV operating potential was used in
this research and because the pH of human blood is about 7.4, phosphate buffer solution pH=7.4 was used in this study. The results
showed that at the optimum operating conditions –200mV operating potential, 700rpm stirring rate and in 0.05M phosphate buffer
solution (pH=7.4), the detection limit was 0.02 mM H2O2, the linear range was 0.02~2.8 mM H2O2, R2=0.9999 and the sensitivity was
242.57 μA/cm2ּmM H2O2. This research can be further applied to the glucose biosensor in the future.
