Table 3. Summary of Changes in H2O2 Equivalents from Figure 4a.
Cu NPs (μg/mL) | added H2O2 (μM) | first data point (μM) | change first to last data point (%) | change first to last data point (μM) | time (min) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
100 | 0 | 291 | –36 | –104 | 60 |
100 | 1000 | 523 | –53 | –278 | 2 |
20 | 0 | 1.9 | +26 | +0.5 | 10 |
20 | 2.5 | 5.3 | –60 | –3.2 | 10 |
20 | 5 | 7.8 | –76 | –5.9 | 10 |
20 | 50 | 33.0 | –90 | –28.9 | 10 |
20 | 100 | 76.3 | –96 | –73.5 | 10 |
The added (theoretical) concentration of H2O2 differed from that of the measured H2O2 equivalent at the first data point. This is due to rapid reactions taking place prior to the first data collection; these could be both formation and degradation of H2O2.
