A novel catalytic material (mesoporous TiO 2 films) for the cathodic detection of hydrogen peroxide in air‐saturated aqueous solution is described. The immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOD) as enzyme model onto the TiO 2 electrode provides an efficient biosensor for the amperometric detection of glucose at −0.15 V (vs. SCE). GOD molecules were immobilized in an inorganic laponite gel and cross‐linked by glutaraldehyde. The highest sensitivity and detection limit were 3.33 mAM −1 cm −2 and 15 μM, respectively. In addition different procedures of enzyme immobilization including cross‐linking with glutaraldehyde and physical entrapment in a functionalized polypyrrole film have been compared.
