Nanostructured alpha‐nickel hydroxide (α‐Ni(OH) 2 ) immobilized on a Fluorine‐doped Tin Oxide (FTO) surface was explored for the construction of hydrogen peroxide amperometric Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) sensors. Their notable electrocatalytic activity and heterogeneous electron‐transfer rate were confirmed by the appearance of a broad and intense peak associated with the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide and the enhancement of sensibility in hydrodynamic conditions. The α‐Ni(OH) 2 electrodes exhibited a broad dynamic range (5×10 −6 to 1×10 −3  mol L −1 ), low detection limit (2×10 −7  mol L −1 ), good repeatability ( RSD =1.29 % for 20 successive analyses), and a sensitivity greater than 500 µA mmol −1  L −1  cm −2 .
