The Au nanoparticles decorated graphene（AuNPs@Gr）/nickel foam（Gr/NiF） nanocomposite（AuNPs@Gr/NiF） was prepared by chemical vapor deposition followed by electrophoretic deposition of AuNPs on Gr/NiF. The morphology, microstructure and sensing performance of the as-prepared AuNPs@Gr/NiF nanocomposite were characterized and measured, respectively by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, ultraviolet visible spectroscopy and chemical workstation. The asprepared AuNPs@Gr/NiF nanocomposite was used as the electrode to construct a chemical sensor for the detection of hydrogen peroxide（H2O2）. The results showed that the AuNPs distributed homogenously and stably on the surface of Gr/NiF. The chemical sensor exhibits a sensitive and selective performance to the detection of H2O2.
