The highly porous Mn 2 O 3 ‐Ag nanofibers were fabricated by a facile two‐step procedure (electrospinning and calcination). The structure and composition of the Mn 2 O 3 ‐Ag nanofibers were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, EDX and SAED. The as‐prepared Mn 2 O 3 ‐Ag nanofibers were then employed as the immobilization matrix for glucose oxidase (GOD) to construct an amperometric glucose biosensor. The biosensor shows fast response to glucose, high sensitivity (40.60 µA mM −1 cm −2 ), low detection limit (1.73 µM at S / N =3), low K m,app value and excellent selectivity. These results indicate that the novel Mn 2 O 3 ‐Ag nanfibers‐GOD composite has great potential application in oxygen‐reduction based glucose biosensing.
