Zusammenfassung:The performance of graphene‐based hybrid materials greatly depends on the dispersibility of nanoscale building blocks on graphene sheets. Here, a quick green synthesis of nanoscale graphene (NG) nanosheets decorated with highly dispersed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is demonstrated, and then the electrospinning technique to fabricate a novel nanofibrous membrane electrode material is utilized. With this technique, the structure, mechanical stability, biochemical functionality, and other properties of the fabricated membrane electrode material can be easily controlled. It is found that the orientations of NG and the dispersity of AgNPs on the surface of NG have significant effects on the properties of the fabricated electrode. A highly sensitive H2O2 biosensor is thus created based on the as‐prepared polymeric NG/AgNP 3D nanofibrous membrane‐modified electrode (MME). As a result, the fabricated biosensor has a linear detection range from 0.005 to 47 × 10−3m (R = 0.9991) with a supralow detection limit of 0.56 × 10−6m (S/N = 3). It is expected that this kind of nanofibrous MME has wider applications for the electrochemical detection and design of 3D functional nanomaterials in the future. Nanofibrous 3D membrane‐modified electrode (MME) for H2O2 detection are successfully fabricated by electrospun polyvinyl alcohol nanofibrous membrane doped with nanoscale graphene/silver nanoparticle hybrids based on electrospinning technique. With a freestanding porous 3D structure, the MME has super large surface area that can enhance the adsorption of electrolytes and the diffusion of reactants and it has an excellent performance for H2O2.
