  • Ultrasonic treatment applied to gold electrodes.

    • Main Results:

    • Ultrasonic treatment led to a decrease in both electron-transfer rate and surface roughness of Au electrodes.
    • The observed effects suggest a modification of the electrode surface.
    • Hydroxyl radicals generated during sonication appear to be key mediators.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasonic treatment offers a simple method to modify Au electrode surfaces.
    • The reduction in electron-transfer rate and roughness is linked to hydroxyl radical activity.
    • This finding has implications for tailoring electrode properties in electrochemical systems.
