The influence of ink composition, curing temperature, and curing time on the electrical properties of the inks was investigated. The optimized graphite ink containing 6.4% propylene glycol exhibited the best electrochemical performance, with a curing temperature of 40°C for 15 min. Silver ink, used as the pseudo-reference electrode, was cured at 25°C for 5 min.

Miniaturization of the electrochemical cell was achieved, reducing the working electrode area from 24.54 to 8.35 mm<sup>2</sup>. The electrodes underwent electrochemical pretreatment in an alkaline medium, resulting in improved electron transfer kinetics and increased peak current. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a homogeneous and rough electrode surface with an increased electroactive area after pretreatment. The reproducibility and stability of the electrodes were assessed, and they demonstrated satisfactory performance over multiple cycles and different fabrication batches.
