The invention provides a Pt / Fe3O4-CeO2
composite material and a preparation method thereof. Pt nano-particles are deposited on the surfaces of CeO2 nanoparticles coated with Fe3O4. The preparation method comprises the following steps of 1, dispersing nano-CeO2 in water to obtain a nano-CeO2 solution having a concentration of 0.10 to 0.15mol / L, 2, carrying out
ultrasonic oscillation, 3, orderly adding concentrated
hydrochloric acid, a soluble Fe<3+> salt and a soluble Fe<2+> salt into the nano-CeO2 solution to obtain a mixed
system, wherein the weight of the concentrated
hydrochloric acid is 2% of the weight of the nano-CeO2 solution; a
mole ratio of the soluble Fe<3+> salt to the soluble Fe<2+> salt is 2: 1; and the concentration of the soluble Fe<3+> salt in the mixed
system is in a range of 0.8 to 1.0mol / L, 4, adding an
ammonia water solution into the mixed
system, 5, sequentially stirring for 20 to 40min to obtain a Fe3O4-CeO2
nanocomposite material, 6, preparing the Fe3O4-CeO2
nanocomposite material into a dispersion liquid having a
mass concentration of 2.0 to 2.5mg / mL, 7, mixing the dispersion liquid and a H2PtCl4
aqueous solution, and 8, adding an NaBH4
aqueous solution into the
mixed solution obtained by the step 7 to obtain the Pt / Fe3O4-CeO2
composite material. The invention also provides a use of the Pt / Fe3O4-CeO2
composite material in electroactive material detection.
