Abstract

A novel and facile method has been developed for the fabrication of Pt–carbon fiber (Pt/CF) disk ultramicroelectrode (DUME). This method, which might be a simple and economical shortcut to get access to Pt/CF DUME, is based upon having metal Pt electroplated on CF DUME. In this paper, an electrode prepared through the new way was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and applied as probe for scanning electrochemical microscope.
