A novel metal composite material based on zirconium dioxide decorated gold nanoparticles (ZrO2@AuNPs), copper (I) oxide at manganese (IV) oxide (Cu2O@MnO2) and immobilized choline oxidase (ChOx) onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) (ChOx/Cu2O@MnO2‐ZrO2@AuNPs/GCE) has been developed for enhancing the electro‐catalytic property, sensitivity and stability of the amperometric choline biosensor. The ChOx/Cu2O@MnO2‐ZrO2@AuNPs/GCE displayed an excellent electrocatalytic response to the oxidation of the byproduct H2O2 from the choline catalyzed reaction, which exhibited a charge transfer rate constant (Ks) of 0.97 s−1, a diffusion coefficient value (D) of 4.50×10−6 cm2 s−1, an electroactive surface area (Ae) of 0.97 cm2 and a surface concentration (γ) of 0.54×10−8 mol cm−2. The modified electrode also provided a wide linear range of choline concentration from 0.5 to 1,000.0 μM with good sensitivity (97.4 μA cm−2 mM−1) and low detection limit (0.3 μM). The apparent Michaelis‐Menten constant was found to be 0.08 mM with Imax of 0.67 μA. This choline biosensor presented high repeatability (%RSD=2.9, n=5), excellent reproducibility (%RSD=2.9, n=5), long time of use (n=28 with %I>50.0 %) and good selectivity without interfering effects from possible electroactive species such as ascorbic acid, aspirin, amoxicillin, caffeine, dopamine, glucose, sucrose and uric acid. This optimal method was successfully applied for choline measurement in prepared human blood samples which demonstrated accurate and excellent reliability in the recovery range from 96.7 to 102.0 %.
