Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for a kind of gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode of electrochemical field, relate in particular to the structure and the preparation method of this gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode.
Background technology
Nano-electrode have high mass transfer rate, low iR fall, hour between good characteristic such as constant, obtain more and more widely research and application.The electrochemical properties of nano-array electrode is not only relevant with the unipolar character of nanometer, but also has some characteristics of self, as obtaining the strength of current much bigger than the nanometer single electrode, has much higher signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of the conventional electrodes of more identical geometric area etc.These characteristics make nano-array electrode in preparation and application, more can satisfy actual requirement, and its research is become one of most active forward position, current electrochemical research field gradually.
For the monodimension nanometer material as electrochemical electrode, being grown in suprabasil electrod-array is that actual fabrication and application bring more facility.The masterplate method is adopted in the preparation work of this respect more, comprises based on the die version of alumina nanohole and the soft template method of some organic porous films.ZnO has the one-dimensional nano structure of various ways.Wherein, the ZnO nanometer stick array of high orientation is an important research focus.People utilize the unique property of this structured material, have realized the preparation of nano laser, the realization of an emission function, the test of piezoelectric property device and sensor etc.
In the preparation process of ZnO nanometer stick array, hydro-thermal method has remarkable advantages.Remove mild condition simply outside, the structure of its array and pattern can be at an easy rate be controlled through the parameter that changes in the preparation process, such as the concentration of pre-service, growth temperature, sedimentation time and the precursor of substrate etc.In the application process of reality, generally all be that deposition layer of ZnO nano thin-film can obtain the nano wire or the nanorod structure of oriented growth on this basis as Seed Layer in substrate.The ZnO nanometer stick array is a semiconductor material under regular situation, does not have electric conductivity, and originally dissolving and corrosion phenomenon is arranged in the WS, therefore is difficult to use as electrochemical electrode.

The technical matters that the present invention will solve provides a kind of gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode, and its ZnO nanometer rods has conductive capability, constitutes 1-dimention nano pole and can be used in electro-chemical test, and higher sensitivity is provided for electro-chemical test.
Another technical matters that will solve of the present invention provides a kind of method for preparing this gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode, can prepare the ZnO nanometer rods with conductive capability through this method.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above; The present invention adopts following technical scheme: this gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode; Which comprises at least silicon base, silica dioxide medium layer, ZnO Seed Layer and ZnO nanometer stick array layer, said silica dioxide medium layer is positioned on the silicon base, and said ZnO Seed Layer is positioned on the silica dioxide medium layer; Said ZnO nanometer stick array layer is positioned on the ZnO Seed Layer, and each ZnO nanorod surfaces of said ZnO nanometer stick array layer and ZnO Seed Layer surface are coated with the gold layer.The gold layer has good adhesion, corrosion resistivity and inoxidizability, therefore makes the ZnO nanometer rods obtain best protection, can prolong the serviceable life of gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode greatly.
As of the present invention preferred, said golden layer thickness is at least 100nm.Golden layer thickness like this can effectively reduce resistance, helps improving the test performance of gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode.
The method for preparing this gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode; Put into high temperature furnace after at first silicon chip being cleaned and carry out oxidation; Forming nano-ZnO thin film with sol-gel process in the silica surface deposition behind the silica dioxide medium layer to be generated is the ZnO Seed Layer; Immerse again in the equal-volume mixed solution of zinc nitrate and hexamethylene tetramine of same concentrations; Take out after the time response with 90-100 degree centigrade temperature and 1-3 hour in airtight reaction utensil and fully clean, dry up then and obtain gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode with deionized water, again through magnetically controlled sputter method at the direct deposited gold layer of the electrode surface that deposits the ZnO nanometer stick array.
As of the present invention preferred, said ZnO Seed Layer immerses in the mixed solution of zinc nitrate and hexamethylene tetramine through behind the UV-irradiation again.Because ZnO Seed Layer surface is not hydrophilic, so mixed solution can skewness on the ZnO Seed Layer.Through can make behind the UV-irradiation ZnO Seed Layer surface wettability by hydrophobic to hydrophilic transformation, the mixed solution on the ZnO Seed Layer is evenly distributed.As of the present invention preferred, said UV-irradiation process by the 8W UV-lamp apart from the ZnO Seed Layer at the most the scope internal radiation of 5cm accomplish after one hour.
The present invention adopts technique scheme: gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode is coated with the gold layer in the one side that the ZnO nanometer rods is arranged; Change the electric conductivity of gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode through Gold plated Layer; Original ZnO nano-bar array electrode is changed by non-conductive conductive, use this gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode to do test and have very high sensitivity.Because golden stratification stable in properties, high temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant, anti-oxidant, low resistance; Being wrapped in ZnO nanometer rods outside with it just can well play a protective role; Can prolong the serviceable life of gold plated ZnO nano-bar array electrode greatly, keep the architectural characteristic of monodimension nanometer material simultaneously.
