摘要：The commercial viability of electrochemical sensors requires high catalytic efficiency electrode materials. A sluggish reaction of the sensor’s primary target species will require a high overpotential and, consequently, an excessive load of catalyst material to be used. Therefore, it is essential to understand nanocatalysts’ fundamental structures and typical catalytic properties to choose the most efficient material according to the biosensor target species. Catalytic activities of Pt-based catalysts have been significantly improved over the decades. Thus, electrodes using platinum nanocatalysts have demonstrated high power densities, with Pt loading considerably reduced on the electrodes. The high surface-to-volume ratio, higher electron transfer rate, and the simple functionalisation process are the main reasons that transition metal NPs have gained much attention in constructing high-sensitivity sensors. This study has designed to describe and highlight the performances of the different Pt-based bimetallic nanoparticles and alloys as an enzyme-free catalytic material for the sensitive electrochemical detection of H
