Abstract:The controlled electrochemical
deposition of hydrogels
from low-molecular
weight hydrogelators (LMWHGs) allows for the defined formation of
thin films on electrodes. Here, the deposition of fibrillar networks
consisting of N,N′,N″-tris(4-carboxyphenylene)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide
(BTA) onto ultraflat gold electrodes has been studied. This process,
also termed electrogelation, is based on a local change in the pH
due to electrolysis of water at the electrode. The protonation of
the BTA sodium salt leads to … Show more
