A novel approach for the assembly of Sn-based metal organic framework (Sn-MOF) via solvothermal method and its composite (Sn-MOF@CNT) with electroactive material, carbon nanotubes (CNT) by sonochemical means, is described that is useful for hydrogen peroxide sensing; large surface area and pore volume of Sn-MOF were exploited where in the crystallinity of the Sn-MOF was preserved upon inclusion of CNT over its surface. The surface morphology and structural analysis of Sn-MOF and its composite form, Sn-MOF@CNT, were determined analytically through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The developed Sn-MOF@CNT sensor was expansively used to determine and optimize the effect of scan rate, concentration and detection limits including the EDX and SEM analysis of used Sn-MOF@CNT nanocomposite's post hydrogen peroxide sensing. The electrochemical sensing with Sn-MOF@CNT revealed a lower limit of detection ~4.7 × 10-3 μM with wide linear range between 0.2 μM and 2.5 mM. This study has explored a new strategy for the deposition of CNT over Sn-MOF via a simple sonochemical methodology for successful electrochemical detection of H2O2, an approach that can be imitated for other applications.
