Template synthesis of the Cu₂O nanoparticle-doped hollow carbon nanofibres and their application as non-enzymatic glucose biosensors.

ABSTRACT: The cuprous oxide nanoparticle (Cu₂O NP)-doped hollow carbon nanofibres (Cu₂O/HCFs) were directly synthesized by the anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template. The doped Cu₂O NPs were formed by in situ deposition by direct reduction reaction of precursor carbonization in thermal decomposition and could act as functionalized nanoparticles. The synthesized Cu₂O/HCFs were characterized in detail by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results reveal that Cu₂O/HCFs have a tubular structure with an average diameter of approximately 60 nm. The shape of the
