Abstract:
This Review surveys the fabrication methods reported for both single microband electrodes and microband electrode arrays and their uses in sensing applications. A theoretical section on band electrodes provides background information on the structure of band electrodes, their diffusional profiles, and the types of voltammetric behavior observed. A short section summarizes the currently available commercial microband electrodes. A section describing recent (10 years) sensing applications using band electrode is also presented.

Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states...
