Fabrication of co-planar screen printed microband electrodes

Abstract

We demonstrate the first example of the fabrication of co-planar 50 μm (width) screen printed graphite microbands (length: 20 mm), fabricated entirely via screen printing which are characterised both microscopically and electrochemically via cyclic voltammetry and evaluated towards the sensing of NADH offering a competitive limit of detection (3σ) of 0.24 μM. The fabricated electrodes are also shown to be extended to gold screen printed microbands which are evaluated towards the sensing of chromium(VI) offering a limit of detection (3σ) of 2.65 μM. These microbands are seen to be the first produced entirely through screen printed technology potentially allowing disposable, mass produced microbands to be realised.
