Main Results:

  • Acid-spun CNT fiber microelectrodes exhibited a 3 nM limit of detection, surpassing other CNT materials.
  • These microelectrodes demonstrated faster electron transfer kinetics and enhanced dopamine oxidation reversibility.
  • A frequency-independent response was observed, enabling potential 2 ms sampling rates for FSCV.

Conclusions:

  • Acid-spun CNT fiber microelectrodes represent a significant advancement for neurotransmitter detection via FSCV.
  • The frequency-independent response is a fundamental property of CNT fibers/yarns, facilitating high-speed electrochemical analysis.
  • These findings pave the way for improved temporal resolution in neuroscience research.
