The electrochemical depositions of Pt microparticles and KI film were successfully carried out on glassy carbon electrodes (GCE), gold electrodes (GE), and indium tin oxide electrodes (ITO). The electrochemical studies of Pt micro/KI film on GCE show that the film was stable, active at pH 1.5 electrolyte solutions. The Pt microparticle/KI film modified ITO electrodes were examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The SEM and AFM results show that the Pt particle sizes were in the range of 120 nm–1.4 μm, respectively. The proposed film on GCE shows efficient electrocatalysis for oxygen, Cr2O reduction by using cyclic voltammetry. Further the electrochemical oxidation of sodium meta-arsenite (As(III)), H2O2 were successfully carried out and the detection of H2O2 in real samples has been validated.
