▎ 摘　　要

A novel route for in-situ synthesis of high-quality gold nanoparticles-encapsulated few layered graphene (AuNP-FLG) nanohybrids has been established. The AuNP-FLG nanohybrids were successfully synthesized by chemical vapor deposition technique and used as an electrocatalyst for high sensitive non-enzymatic glucose sensors. The amperometric response of the AuNP-FLG based electrode achieved an excellent electrocatalytic activity towards glucose oxidation with a wide linear detection range of 6 mu M-28.5 mM, low detection limit of 1 mu M and a sensitivity of 0.195 mu A mM(-1) cm(-2) at operating potential of 0.0 V. Furthermore, the electrode also showed long-term stability (retention of 95.4% after two week) with negligible interference from ascorbic acid, 4-acetamidophenol and uric acid. The results implied that AuNP-FLG could be a promising electrode material in the development of non-enzymatic glucose sensors. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
