A method of manufacturing a copper oxide (CuxO) structure onto a Copper (Cu) surface by fabricating an electroactive hierarchical CuxO structure directly onto the Cu surface by laser-induced oxidation (LIO). The generated heat from the laser source provides energy for the oxidation of the Cu surface in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. The electroactive hierarchical CuxO structure is a binder-free nanotextured structure. The electroactive hierarchical CuxO structure may be used as a glucose sensor.
