Popis: | A redox cycling geometry based on an array of nanopore-confined recessed dual-ring electrodes (RDREs) has been devised to amplify electrochemical signals and enhance the sensitivity of electroanalytical measurements. The RDRE arrays were fabricated using layer-by-layer deposition followed by focused ion beam milling. A characteristic feature of the nanoscale dual-ring geometry is that electrochemical reactions occurring at the bottom-ring electrode can be tuned by modulating the potential at the top-ring electrode. Thus, the resulting device was operated in generator–collector mode by holding the top-ring electrodes at a constant potential and performing cyclic voltammetry by sweeping the bottom-ring potential in aqueous Fe(CN)63–/4–. The enhanced (∼23×) limiting current, achieved by cycling the redox couple between top- and bottom-ring electrodes with high collection efficiency, was compared with that obtained in the absence of self-induced redox cycling (SIRC). Measured shifts in Fe(CN)63–/4– concentrat... |
