Background technology
Microelectrode is meant that the one dimension of electrode is of a size of a micron-sized class electrode.When the size of electrode surface was reduced to micron order, electrode shows many good electrochemical properties that are different from conventional electrodes: the electric current of microelectrode can reach stable state at short notice, and the response time is short; The current density height; The ratio of charging current and faradic currents is very little, helps to improve signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio); Low solution potential falls, and can be used for the high impedance system.According to the geometric configuration difference, microelectrode can be divided into polytype, and wherein the surface is discoid little disk electrode that is called, and is a kind of more common electrode, claims microdisk electrode again.In actual experiment, because the electric current of single microdisk electrode is restricted so use sometimes less than the detection lower limit of conventional electrochemical apparatus.
Tiny array electrode is meant by a plurality of microelectrodes and integrates the electrode of being formed, its electric current be adding of each unitary electrode electric current and.Tiny array electrode has kept the characteristic of original unitary electrode, can obtain bigger strength of current again, and conventional electrochemical apparatus can be measured its signal, so help analytical applications.
People such as V.Rehacek [Vacuum 80,2005,132] use photoetching process; People [Sensor andActuatorB 113,2006,545] such as Laurent G use the microelectronics printing technology; H.X.He[Langmuir 16,2000, and 9684] obtained tiny array electrode respectively with soft printing stencil method.But the equal more complicated of above method needs special exact instrument, and cost is higher, and ordinary laboratory is difficult for carrying out; The electrode surface of making can not grind renewal, poor reproducibility.Document: [A.J.Bard, F.Fan, M.V.Mirkin, in:Bard A.J. (Ed.), ElectroanalyticalChemistry, vol.18, Marcel Dekker, New York, 1993, p.243.], reported a kind of method that obtains microelectrode in the thermoplastic soft glass pipe that the micron order platinum filament is enclosed in.Though this method does not need complicated large-scale instrument, complicated operation is difficult for grasping, and is difficult to make array electrode.Chinese patent notification number CN1544928A, open day is on November 10th, 2004, and name is called to mention with quartz capillary encapsulated electrode material among the preparation method of little disk array electrode makes array electrode, and this method step is many, operates more loaded down with trivial details.
Summary of the invention
The present invention has overcome above-mentioned many shortcomings of prior art, and the preparation method of a kind of microdisk electrode or little disk array electrode is provided.Its step and condition are:
(1) preparation of embedding resin material film wiry
Shown in attached Fig. 1 and 2,1. go up with adhesive tape at the teflon flat board and 2. to surround strip groove; 2. paste double sticky tape 3. at adhesive tape on, with an one metal wire or the 4. parallel teflon flat board of many one metal wires 1. and perpendicular to trench length direction fixed placement or side by side uniformly-spaced fixed placement on double sticky tape, make the teflon flat board top 1. that is suspended from the groove, the modulation resin material 5., 4. it also buried tinsel in above-mentioned groove, and then 5. resin material flattened, after 5. resin material solidifies under the room temperature, tinsel on the one side double sticky tape blocked along this side trench inner face together with resin material abandon it, tinsel on the opposite side double sticky tape is together peeled together with resin material, obtain being embedded with tinsel and the exposed resin material film of an end wiry;
Described resin material is preferred: rigidity polyesters mould material or resin material;
(2) encapsulation of electrode
The exposed resin material film of a tinsel and an end wiry will be embedded with, be curled into column along described strip groove length direction, insert in the glass tube of both ends open, the end that tinsel in the described glass tube is exposed connects lead with conductive tape and draws, the glass tube other end is inserted siphon sealing in the fresh resin material together with wherein being embedded with resin material film wiry, place again under the room temperature and solidify, obtain microdisk electrode or little disk array electrode semi-manufacture;
(3) polishing of electrode
The sealed end of microdisk electrode or the half-finished insertion resin of little disk array electrode is exposed tinsel end face and polishing with sand papering, obtain electrode surface,, obtain a kind of microdisk electrode or little disk array electrode with this electrode surface of secondary water ultrasonic cleaning.
Be embedded in microdisk electrode or the little disk array electrode that kind wiry in the resin material can obtain different metal by change, be embedded in number wiry in the resin material by change, can the array of controls electrode in the number of working electrode; Electrode surface can grind renewal, and electrode can stand to be repeatedly used.
Optimum condition is in the preparation process (1) of embedding of the present invention resin material film wiry: the described width of 1. going up the strip groove that 2. surrounds with adhesive tape at the teflon flat board is 2-5 centimetre, the degree of depth is the 0.3-0.8 millimeter, and length can be selected as required;
3. 1. and perpendicular to the trench length direction the 4. parallel teflon flat board of described many one metal wires uniformly-spaced gone up for the 0.5-1 millimeter is fixed on double sticky tape side by side.
Means of testing: adopt three-electrode system, contrast electrode is Ag/AgCl (saturated KCl), is the spiral fashion platinum filament to electrode.At the Fe of 1mM (CN)
6 3-0.5M KCl aqueous solution in electric potential scanning, potential range is 0.6-0V, sweeps speed for 0.01V/s.Whether be S shape, if S shape, the preparation that shows tiny array electrode is successful if detecting cyclic voltammetry curve, can be used for actual electrochemistry experiment; If cyclic voltammetry curve is not a S shape, continue the grinding and polishing electrode, clean, ultrasonic, S-shaped up to cyclic voltammetry curve.After finishing, test uses secondary water cleaning electrode surface.
This preparation method's cost is extremely low, simple to operate, and without any need for instrument, ordinary laboratory can be prepared easily.
