Hybrid nanocomposites (NCs) of Mn3O4 nanorods and 2D materials (MoS2 or graphene) nanosheets are successfully deposited on nickel foam porous substrate at room temperature using a one-step kinetic spray process in low-vacuum conditions. Mn3O4 -based NCs are utilized for the electrocatalytic detection of H2O2 in 0.1 M NaOH. The synergy improvement between the Mn3O4 nanorods and either MoS2 or graphene nanosheets improved the non-enzymatic detection of H2O2. All modified electrodes exhibit a wide linear detection range from 0.2 to 1 mM. The working electrodes with Mn3O4 nanorods reveal high sensitivity of 2320 mA·mM-1·cm -2 toward H2O2 reduction. The hybridization between Mn3O4 nanorods and either MoS2 or graphene enhances the electrocatalytic reduction sensitivity to 3220 or 5400 mA·mM-1·cm-2, respectively. Furthermore, the modified electrodes with the Mn3O4-2D material hybrid NCs exhibited high electrocatalytic reduction selectivity for H2O2 in 0.1 M NaOH compared with other interfering species.
