Abstract-Redox cycling (RC) is an effect that is. The experimental data corresponds to the calculated spectra obtained from simulations. Additionally, the measured spectra can be used to easily derive standard potentials and concentrations simultaneously and selectively.
Electrodes with submicron gaps are desired for achieving high amplication redoxcycling sensors. In this contribution we report the use of electrodeposition of gold in order todecrease the inter-electrode spacing at interdigitated electrodes. Using this method submicronspacings can be obtained without expensive techniques such as e-beam lithography or focusedion beam milling. Initially, gold interdigitated electrodes with a nger spacing of 2.5 m wererealized by lift-o processing. Using a commercial gold sulphite bath (ECF64D) and 100 mscurrent pulses of -1.78 A, these gold electrodes were plated with an additional gold layer. Asa result, the inter- electrode spacing, as measured using atomic force microscopy and conven-tional microscopy, was reduced to 0.6 m. The achieved gap spacing is limited by electrodeimperfections resulting from the lift-o process. At these imperfections the electrodes becomeshorted. Additional experiments with wet etched electrodes are expected to yield smaller gapspacings
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
