We report on the direct growth of TiO2 nanowires via a facile thermal oxidation treatment of a Ti substrate, and their capacity for electrochemical biosensing. To improve the conductivity of the TiO2 nanowires and to facilitate the immobilization of enzymes onto their surfaces, a thin layer of carbo...
