Abstract

A highly sensitive and fast-response biosensor based on cupric hydroxide/oxide (Cu(OH)2/CuO) nanotube arrays (CNA) was successfully fabricated in this work. CNAs were prepared on copper electrode surface by simply immersing copper electrode in an aqueous solution of NaOH and (NH4)2S2O8. The morphology and the composition of the CNAs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), respectively. The electrocatalytic activity of the CNA modified copper electrodes (CNA/Cu) towards glucose oxidation was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The CNA/Cu showed good non-enzymatic electrocatalytic responses to glucose in alkaline media and can be used for the development of enzyme-free glucose sensors.
