Carbon nanotube template synthesis of hierarchical NiCoO2 composite for non-enzyme glucose detection

- CNT coated with a sulfonated polystyrene layer is capable to absorb metal ions and induce the growth of nanostructured metal oxides.
- The NiCoO2 nanoflakes loaded on CNT possess uniform dispersion and good conductivity.
- The NiCoO2@CNT shows significantly enhanced electro-catalytic activity towards oxidation of glucose.
- The NiCoO2@CNT is an electrode material in glucose amperometric biosensor with superior characteristics.
