Glucose sensor based on ITO/ZnO NRs/GOx/nafion is fabricated and tested under different glucose concentrations. Hydrothermal growth method along with sol-gel technique is used to grow high quality ZnO nanorods that have well-alignment and high density with an acceptable aspect ratio. The as-grown of ZnO nanorods are used to fabricate a working electrode that can be used for glucose detection in blood after a modification process with GOx and nafion membrane. Annealing at 110 °C helped in improves the crystallinity of the seed layer and as a result, a high density and well alignment as-grown ZnO nanorods were obtained. High sensitivity and short response time were obtained from the fabricated device with an acceptable lower limit of detection.
