Abstract

The simple and cheap method for fabrication of micro-sized electrochemical electrodes was proposed. The porous copper microstructures synthesized by laser-induced metal deposition technique were used as an indicator electrode, whereas a bulk polycrystalline copper with similar geometric parameters was used as an etalon electrode. The electrochemical properties of these electrodes were studied by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. The surface of the deposited copper structures was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. An analytical response of the fabricated copper electrode is 15 times higher than those observed for a pure bulk copper. A study of sensory characteristics for hydrogen peroxide and d-glucose detection showed that the value of Faraday current at the fabricated copper electrode is 2–2.5 orders of magnitude higher than for etalon one.
