Enhanced analytical performance of disposable 3D carbon electrodes prepared with stainless steel wire mesh.

This paper aims to use low-cost stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) as uniform templates to prepare disposable three-dimensional (3D) carbon electrodes to improve their analytical performance. Native SSWM electrodes were prepared with lamination and then coated with carbon cement for bulk preparation of disposable 3D carbon electrodes with drop-casting. The electrodes were then coupled in paper-based analytical devices.
