Abstract

A facile method to fabricate copper oxide functionalized silver nanowires with high sensitivity to biomolecules is reported for the first time. The enhanced surface roughness of silver nanowire and the molecule capture capability of copper oxide nanoparticles account for the high sensitivity of this nanocomposite.
