The significance of sensing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is due to its ubiquity, being a potential biomarker as well as an end-product of several oxidation reactions. Herein, based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and coupled with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and ceria nanoparticles (CeO2), we developed a novel colorimetric method to detect H2O2 and glucose in NaCl solutions. In the presence of H2O2, ssDNA adsorbed on the surface of CeO2 could be released and subsequently decorated AuNPs, resulting in a distinct color change of the aqueous solution from purple to red, which could be observed by the naked eye. Since H2O2 can be produced in the process of glucose oxidation by glucose oxidase (GOx), this approach can also be employed to detect glucose. By employing this sensing system, the detection limits for H2O2 and glucose are about 0.21 μM and 3.01 µM, respectively. Additionally, monitoring the content of glucose in blood serum samples was successfully achieved by the proposed strategy. This work opens a potential avenue for the quantitative detection of H2O2 and glucose in clinical diagnostics.
