Abstract: Using 10 nm nanogold as seeds, the (Au)core(Ag)shell nanoparticles were prepared in the presence of AgNO3 and trisodium citrate dehydrate, and they were purified by high-speed centrifugation to remove the excess trisodium citrate. The absorption peak of the purified (Au)core(Ag)shell nanoparticles is at 393 nm. In pH=4.4 HAc-NaAc buffer solution, hydroxyl radical produced from Fenton reaction oxidized the outer silver layer of the nanoparticles to form Ag+, and resulted in decreasing of the absorbance value at 393 nm. The concentration of H2O2 in the range of 6.58—421.1 μmol/L was linear to the decreased absorbance at 393 nm(ΔA393 nm). Its regression equation was ΔA393 nm=0.00111c+0.0210, and the correlation coefficient was 0.9908, with a detection limit of 1.73 μmol/L. This method was applied to the detection of H2O2 in wastewater, with satisfactory results.
