In this work, we present a novel Ni@Au H2O2 sensor fabricated by employing both the direct laser writing lithography and selective electrodeposition techniques. The proposed sensing configuration exhibits excellent sensitivity and low detection limit of the hydrogen peroxide due to the large specific surface area of the self-supported nickel-metal mesh, as well as the remarkable electrocatalytic performance of Au nanoparticles when hydrogen peroxide is present. More specifically, the detection sensitivity of the employed structure in the concentration range of 0.05~96.55 μM is as high as 91.1 mAmM-1 cm-2 . Besides, we can still detect a significant amperometric response of the H2O2 for concentrations down to the value of 100 nM. Additionally, the interference signals produced by using various substances such as NaCl, urea, uric acid, lactose, sucrose and so on are usually less than 5% of the H2O2 response signal. Our sensing element possesses also outstanding flexibility and transparency properties, which renders it attractive for wearable applications
