摘要: The preparation and characterization of Pt nanoelectrodes in the range 1 to 3 nm radii are reported. A microwire is sealed into a bilayer quartz capillary pulled an ultrasharp nanowire silica tip using laser-assisted pulling process. then piece glass tubing, which manually polished expose Pt. Transmission electron microscopy steady-state voltammetry utilized characterize nanoelectrodes. results show that minimum size nanoelectrode determined by parameters used heterogeneous transfer rate constant for oxidation ferrocene, ferrocenemethanol, potassium hexachloroiridate (III) from method Mirkin Bard found be k° = 7.6 ± 3.4 cm/s α 0.85 0.06 7.4 6.9 0.78 0.16 6.0 4.2 c...
