Embodiment 3

[0020] Embodiment 3: according to the present invention, according to figure 1 The step shown activates the microelectrodes modified with platinum black particles on the surface of the deactivated thin film electrodes, Figure 5 It is a comparison of the cyclic voltammograms before and after the rapid activation of the electrode. Before the activation, the surface of the electrode was seriously polluted and deactivated, and its cyclic voltammogram i was flat without step changes. After activation, the surface of the electrode 1a was cleaned and activated, and its cyclic voltammogram ii was restored. Normal, the current output increased; the repeatability of the response after activation was tested and analyzed, and the half-wave potential in the cyclic voltammetry response after 8 activations was constant at 0.26V, and the mean peak value (Mean) of the oxidation current was 18nA. The standard deviation (Std.Dev) is 3nA, and the standard error (Std.Err) is 1nA, indicating that ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for rapid activation of an electrochemical electrode, belonging to the fields of electrochemical detection technology, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) processing technology and sensing technology. Background technique [0002] Various forms of electrochemical electrodes are widely used in biochemical analysis, health and quarantine, environmental monitoring, food testing, industrial fermentation production monitoring, etc. However, the electrode surface is often easily adsorbed by various impurities, including electroactive substances, which sometimes A thin film will be formed on the surface of the electrode, and this adsorption will inhibit the activity of the electrode and poison the electrode. Over time, impurities from the test solution or air are adsorbed on the surface of the electrochemical electrode, and its electrochemical response will change abnormally, which is called electrode deactivation.
