Biosensing And Catalysis Applications Of Nanoporous Gold (Npg) And Platinum-Speckled Nanoporous Gold (Npg-Pt) Electrodes, Christopher J. Freeman
Biosensing And Catalysis Applications Of Nanoporous Gold (Npg) And Platinum-Speckled Nanoporous Gold (Npg-Pt) Electrodes, Christopher J. Freeman
Theses and Dissertations
The importance of porous materials has risen substantially in the last few decades due to their ability to reduce the size and cost of bioanalytical devices and fuel cells. First, this work aims to describe the fabrication of nanoporous gold (NPG) electrodes that are resistant to electrode passivation due to fibrinogen biofouling in redox solutions. The effect on potentiometric and voltammetric experiments was seen as a deviation from ideal behavior on planar gold electrodes, whereas NPG electrodes were consistently behaving in a Nernstian fashion at low concentrations of ferri-ferrocyanide (£100 mM). An improvement in electrode behavior on NPG electrodes versus …

Theses and Dissertations
High surface area gold electrodes are very good substrates for biosensors, catalysis and drug delivery. Their performance is characterized by good sensitivity, low detection limit and high signal. As a result, extensive research is being carried out in this field using different approaches of fabrication to generate high surface area porous electrodes of different morphology, pore size and structure. The morphology of the electrodes can be changed based on whether the approach involves a template or not, types of metal deposition, method and time of dealloying etc. The deposition of metal can be carried out using various approaches such as …
