Copper Nanoflowers on Carbon Cloth as a Flexible Electrode Toward Both Enzymeless Electrocatalytic Glucose and H2O2.

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.
