摘要
A simple chemical etching procedure based on the solubility of polycarbonate membranes in solvent mixtures is reported for fabricating 3D gold nanoelectrode ensembles. A solvent ratio of 50:50 dichloromethane/ ethanol was found to be optimum for selective controlled etching of the surface layers of the polycarbonate membranes to expose up to 200-nm lengths of gold nanowires. The absence of double layer charging current in cyclic voltammograms of the resulting 3D nanoelectrode ensemble verified that the seal between the gold nanowires and the polycarbonate membrane was not compromised as a result of the chemical etching.
