Abstract
High temporal and spatial resolution electrochemical sensor arrays can greatly benefit various parallel sensing applications. Herein, we provide a simple method for the controlled and scaled fabrication of bipolar nanoelectrode arrays (BPnEAs) for high-resolution electrochemical sensing applications. BPnEAs are prepared on silicon nitride film windows through the dual-beam FIB nanofabrication technique. Coupling a conventional electrochemical redox reaction with a tris (2,20-bipyridyl) ruthenium /2-(dibutylamino)ethanol electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system, which is based on a high-viscosity solvent to reduce molecular diffusion, allows for the reporting of conventional electrochemical redox processes with high spatial and temporal resolution. The use of the BPnEA-ECL sensor is demonstrated on 10 × 10 Pt or C BPnEAs for monitoring the reduction of 0.5 M H2SO4. BPnEA-ECL sensors containing different electrode materials (Pt and C) are reported for the first time and are used to monitor the reduction of 0.5 M H2SO4, thus revealing the difference in electrocatalytic capacities between Pt and C. Subsequently, we reveal the outstanding capabilities of the BPnEA-ECL system for catalyst screening.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators Reports is a peer-reviewed open access journal launched out from the Sensors and Actuators journal family. Sensors and Actuators Reports is dedicated to publishing new and original works in the field of all type of sensors and actuators, including bio-, chemical-, physical-, and nano- sensors and actuators, which demonstrates significant progress beyond the current state of the art. The journal regularly publishes original research papers, reviews, and short communications.
For research papers and short communications, the journal aims to publish the new and original work supported by experimental results and as such purely theoretical works are not accepted.
