Analyte indicator integrated with a catalytically active material

A sensor comprising:

• a sensor housing;
• and
• an analyte indicator embedded within and/or covering at least a portion of the sensor housing, wherein the analyte indicator comprises:
• a porous base having an interior surface and an exterior surface;
• a catalytically active material disposed on at least one of the interior and exterior surfaces of the porous base, wherein the catalytically active material is configured to catalyze the degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS);
• a polymer unit polymerized onto or out of the porous base;
• and
• an analyte sensing element attached to the polymer unit or copolymerized with the polymer unit.

An analyte indicator comprising:

• a porous base;
• an indicator polymer chain attached or polymerized onto or out of the porous base;
• one or more indicator molecules attached to the indicator polymer chain;
• a catalytically active material disposed on at least one of the interior and exterior surfaces of the porous base, wherein the catalytically active material is configured to catalyze the degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
