A Rapid Electrochemical Surface Modification Process for Nanotextured Gold Electrodes.

Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, gold has been widely applied as electrode material for various applications. In recent years, with the increasing requirement on the electrode performance, researchers attempted to involve nanostructures into the electrode through various routes, which demonstrated the performance improvement but still are limited by the process complexity, toxic agents and high cost. In this work, a simple and fast electrochemical surface modification process of gold electrodes was developed.
