The invention discloses a preparation method of a gold disc sub-micron
electrode with a controllable geometrical shape. The method mainly comprises the following steps: placing a gold wire into a capillary
glass tube, the capillary
glass tube is firstly refined by use of a
laser drawing instrument, then the capillary
glass tube is enabled to be completely attached to the gold wire, finally, the capillary glass tube is snapped off, an
ultramicroelectrode is obtained, then the tip of the
ultramicroelectrode is heated by use of a needle
grinding instrument, through controlling the heating process, the
diameter of the capillary glass tube and the RG of the
electrode are controlled, finally, the cross section of the tip of the
ultramicroelectrode is truncated by use of a focusing icon
beam electron microscope, and thus the gold disc sub-micron
electrode is obtained. The electrode obtained by use of the method has the following advantages: the end surface is flat, the
insulation layer is uniform and compact, the sensitivity is high, and the electrochemical performance is excellent. Therefore, the electrode is especially applied to basic
electrochemistry, biological electrochemical sensors and scanning probes.
