Compared with traditional centimeter-level electrodes, microelectrodes exhibit a small reaction area, high sensitivity, fast mass transfer rate, and low polarization current. However, current microelectrode preparation processes are very complicated and costly. Herein, we proposed a facile and universal method for fabricating single-particle microelectrodes. In the precursor solution, polyvinyl alcohol and ammonia were introduced as the polymeric binder and pore-forming agent, respectively. Through spaying-drying-sintering processes, the single-particle microelectrodes were successfully prepared for LiTiO (LTO), LiCrTiO (LCTO), and LiFePO/C (LFP/C), which showed excellent electrochemical properties. Furthermore, the single-particle microelectrode can be adopted to study the electrochemical oscillations of Li-ion batteries and assemble a full-cell microbattery as a potential next-generation microscale power source.

We describe micro- and nanoelectrode array analysis with an automated version of the array microcell method (AMCM). Characterization of hundreds of electrodes, with diameters ranging from 100 nm to 2 μm, was carried out by using AMCM voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The influence of solvent evaporation on mass transport in the AMCM pipette and the resultant electrochemical response were investigated, with experimental results supported by finite element method simulations.

Microparticle rotation is an important process in biomedical engineering, such as biosensors, cell injection or cell morphology. Single particle rotation has been widely investigated, while rotation of particle chains has gained rare attention. In this paper, we utilize a noncontact manipulation method to rotate microparticle chains electrorotation by designing an octuple-electrode array (OEA).

Background: Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles (30-160 nm) with endosome origin secreted by almost all types of cells, which are considered to be messengers of intercellular communication. Cancerous exosomes serve as a rich source of biomarkers for monitoring changes in cancer-related physiological status, because they carry a large number of biological macromolecules derived from parental tumors. The ultrasensitive quantification of trace amounts of cancerous exosomes is highly valuable for non-invasive early cancer diagnosis, yet it remains challenging.

Single-particle collision electrochemistry (SPCE) has shown great promise in biosensing applications due to its high sensitivity, high flux, and fast response. However, a low effective collision frequency and a large number of interfering substances in complex matrices limit its broad application in clinical samples. Herein, a novel and universal SPCE biosensor was proposed to realize sensitive detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) based on the collision and oxidation of single silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on polysulfide-functionalized gold ultramicroelectrodes (Ps-Au UMEs).

As a key factor in cellular metabolic processes, nitric oxide (NO) is a challenging target for in situ real-time monitoring due to its transient property and short diffusion distance. Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) has unique advantages in single-cell analysis, which can obtain the electrochemical current by scanning the cell surface with a tip microelectrode. In particular, it can further improved the electrochemical response by enhancing the interface properties of its tip.
