Carbon Interdigitated Array Nanoelectrodes for Electrochemical Applications

Abstract: Redox current amplification has been demonstrated using carbon interdigitated array ͑IDA͒ nanoelectrodes derived from precursor polymer microstructures through conventional photolithography and pyrolysis. This simple conversion process, also known as carbon-microelectromechanical systems, enables nanometer-level fabrication of carbon materials in a reproducible and an economic manner. We demonstrated that with carbon IDA nanoelectrodes fabricated in two mask processes a current amplification factor of 25 can b… Show more

“…In 2005, structures with aspect ratios higher than 10 were reported by Wang et al [17], and since then, a variety of complex carbon microstructures have been derived from SU-8. The fabrication of high-aspect ratio structures [18,19], nano-electrodes [20], free-standing all-carbon micromolds [21,22], wires [23] and the integration of carbon electrodes in polymer devices for particle manipulation [24] are included in the latest achieved milestones. Here, I first present a number of possible optimization steps in a traditional SU-8 photolithography process that can lead to innovative carbon structures.…”

“…With high aspect ratio, the diffusion between the vertical walls of the electrodes increases and the diffusion above the electrode tops decreases. Therefore the diffusion flux increases and the redox cycling current is enhanced [25].…”

“…However, there still remains a strong need for a high-resolution, high-throughput patterning method, applicable to a wider variety of polymer precursors, to manufacture thinner wires for C-MEMS and C-NEMS. In addition, an improved throughput of the NFES will help in manufacturing new classes of well-defined polymer and carbon micro/nanostructures for advanced applications in electrochemical sensing, energy storage, and stem cell research 18,[40][41][42][43][44][45] .…”
