In this review, we discussed and analyzed the mechanism, performance, and characteristics of the enzyme/nonenzyme glucose and H2O2 electrochemical sensors based on some pure metal (Au, Pd, Ni, Pt, and Cu), metal oxide (ZnO, NiO, CuO (x) , TiO2, and Co3O4), and carbon (nanotubes and graphene) nanomaterials. Although the introduction of nanomaterials can effectively improve the sensitivity of enzyme glucose/H2O2 sensors by enhancing the activity of protein enzyme, the enzymes are sensitive to the biochemical environment. Meanwhile, the sensing performance of nonenzyme glucose/H2O2 sensors significantly depends on the morphology, uniformity, and distribution of nanomaterials.This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) under Grants (Numbers 61405032, 61403074, 61605031, 61425003); and Doctoral Scientific Research Startup Foundation of Liaoning Province under Grant (Number 20150 1144); and Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities under Grants (Numbers N1504 04022, N150401001).
