Abstract

The invention discloses a method and electrode structure for improving microelectrode array electrode density based on an electrochemical bipolar behavior, and belongs to the field of microelectrode array electrochemistry. In the study of a microelectrode array, the aim of how to design electrode spacing to enable the microelectrode array to maintain the property of microelectrode stability and meanwhile to achieve the sum of currents is always a hot point. The electrode structure, based on an electrochemical bipolar phenomenon, of a plane-concave microelectrode array is provided, a plane metal film layer is introduced over the concave microelectrode array, the metal film covers the insulation layer of the concave microelectrode array, and microelectrodes are exposed. Therefore, the microelectrode array can still obtain the property of steady state responses under the condition of small electrode spacing, meanwhile, due to the microelectrode bipolar phenomenon, steady-state currents are larger than the steady-state currents of common electrodes, and therefore a large current response can be obtained on a small chip, and a current density value is increased by at least one magnitude order.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrochemistry of microelectrode arrays, and relates to the design and processing of planar-concave microelectrode arrays, and the use of the electrochemical bipolar behavior of planar metal films to improve the integration of electrodes in the concave microelectrode arrays, thereby improving sensitivity. Planar-concave microelectrode arrays can be used as electrochemical sensors, for example to detect small organic molecules. Background technique [0002] A microelectrode is an electrode with at least one dimension below 25 μm. The radial diffusion caused by the edge effect makes the microelectrode have the characteristics of high current density, small charging current, fast response time, and high signal-to-noise ratio. However, the response of a single microelectrode is very small (~nA level), which limits the application of microelectrodes to a certain extent. The microelectrode array, as an ordered collect...
