Abstract

Redox current amplification has been demonstrated using carbon interdigitated array (IDA) 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 be obtained. This high amplification factor is a result of the efficient recycling of redox species between the 1:1 aspect ratio carbon nanoelectrodes. This type of a current amplification value is hard to obtain when using more traditional flat nanometer level spaced noble metal IDA electrodes fabricated with more expensive nanopatterning processes such as E-beam lithography.
