Cupreous oxide nanobelts as detector for determination of l-Tyrosine

Cupreous oxide nanobelts were successfully synthesized by cupreous hydroxid nanobelts as precursor with a hydrothermal reduction process at a low temperature. The prepared cupreous oxide nanobelts were characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction and the field-emission scanning electron microscopy and then were modified onto the electrode which was applied to determine l-Tyrosine in the solution. The result shows that the cupreous oxide nanobelts give a very high activity for the l-Tyrosine determination, and we think that cupreous oxide nanobelts may be of great potential use in l-Tyrosine sensor.
