The electrochemical deposition of Au onto Au substrates modified by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was studied by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Patterned SAMs exhibiting electrochemical contrast were prepared by two different methods. One used microcontact printing (CP) to generate a binary SAM of -(4'-methyl-biphenyl-4...

By means of delicate and conventional methods based on photolithography and hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) technology, a novel boron-doped diamond micro-network (BDDMN) film was fabricated, and this micro-structure showed excellent electrochemical sensing properties.

Polypyrrole is one of the important conductive polymers that are widely used in energy storage systems, biosensors and electronics. The electrochemical synthesis of polypyrrole has advantages of simple process, mass production and low cost. In this study, polypyrrole thin films were deposited on different electrode substrates by cyclovoltammetric (CV), galvanostatic and potentiostatic depositio...

Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) has been used to image latent fingermarks enhanced by adsorption of gold nanoparticles onto which silver is chemically deposited, a process known as "multi-metal-deposition" (MMD).

Metal and semimetal nanotube-nanowire heterojunction arrays have been achieved by sequential electrochemical-deposition inside the nanochannels of anodic aluminium oxide template with a layer of Au thin enough to leave the pores open.
