Popis: Zinc oxide nanoparticles were tethered to carbon nanotubes to form an electrochemical sensing composite, which was characterized using transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron and attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopies. The sensor′s electrocatalytic response for measuring hydrogen peroxide was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry in a dynamic, well defined swimming pool environment. A wide, linear response in the concentration range of 0.025–7.0 mM at a potential of −0.360 V was shown, with rapid response time (
