A very facile strategy for the synthesis of ultrathin CuO nanorods towards non-enzymatic glucose sensing

摘要

Ultrathin CuO nanorods have been readily synthesized by simply mixing Cu2+/OH-/ethanol with water at high temperature. Such CuO nanorods display high sensitivity, low detection limit, fast amperometric response and good selectivity, which might add greater value to non-enzymatic glucose detection.
