In this study, we demonstrate H2O2 gas sensing with a single-layer graphene decorated with Cu2O nanowires (Cu2ONWs) and a protective PVP layer. Single-layered graphene was grown using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, the Cu2ONWs were synthesized hydrothermally. The composite has been characterized using AFM, SEM, EDS, XPS and TEM. The average diameter of Cu2ONWs is 35 nanometers with (111) and (220) crystallographic planes. The functionalization of graphene with Cu2ONWs nanowires has
