“…Indeed, carbon is a commonly-used solid electrode material due to its wide potential window, mechanical stability, low cost and applicability to a wide range of redox systems. Carbon's chemical inertness and stability in acidic and basic media make it an attractive material for the deposition of metal thin films, such as mercury [3], gold [4] and, more recently, bismuth, antimony [5,6], metal nanoparticles [7,8] and polymers [9,10], employed for electroanalysis. Microfabrication of low-cost and disposable electrodes has received attention recently due to the development of electrochemical sensors, such as the thick-film screen-printed carbon electrodes prepared using commercially available carbon inks.…”
