Catalase Like Activity of Iron Phthalocyanine Incorporated in a Carbon Paste Electrode

Abstract

The electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen peroxide has been investigated using a modified carbon paste electrode, by incorporating iron phthalocyanine. This offers interesting properties due to the catalase like activity of the electrode.

The utilization of this type of electrode permits the quantitative determination of hydrogen peroxide at concentrations down to 5x10^?5 M.
