Abstract: | Herein, a novel electrochemical sensor for glucose and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection was successfully developed through the use of Cu nanoflowers (CuNFs) combined with flexible carbon cloth (CC) substrate. The 3D flower-like CuNFs in size uniformly and firmly grow on CC substrate by a facile, scalable, one-step hydrothermal strategy. Morphology, size and surface property of the prepared CuNFs/CC were examined by SEM, EDS and TEM, respectively. The electrochemical mechanism of CuNFs/CC for glucose and H2O2 detection was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. High electrochemical performances were displayed with amperometric i-t curves including a wide linear range from 1.0 nM to 6.0 mM for glucose and from 1.0 μM to 36.66 mM for H2O2, respectively. Good sensitivity, repeatability, and stability, as well as anti-interference ability, the carbon cloth-supported CuNFs will be the promising materials for fabricating practical non-enzymatic glucose and H2O2 sensors. |
