Composite electrodes are gradually gaining interest due to their versatile applications. plastic chip electrode (PCE) comprising of graphite and Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is one such composite that can be fabricated by simple solution‐phase mixing followed by solvent evaporation. In this study, we report more than two times enhancement in the bulk conductance of PCE by removing the passivating superficial polymer layer above the filler, through the treatment of cold plasma. Comparative characterization of the pre‐ and posttreated electrode has been performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), spreading resistance imaging (SRI), contact angle, and current–voltage characteristics as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Improved electroactivity of PCE has been demonstrated through cyclic voltammetry (CV).
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.
