Abstract

A novel cheap and easy way of producing carbon electrodes from single layer graphite is proposed. Low production cost allows to generate multiple disposable carbon layer electrodes. The electrodes were tested in a model bioelectrocatalytic process, such as electrochemical regeneration of hemoproteins, and positive results were obtained.
