Electrodeposition

Electrodeposition

Electrodeposition is a technique used to separate an analyte from interferents by electrochemical processes. Here, the analyte is a metal ion that can be deposited on an electrode immersed in the sample solution. The electrochemical setup consists of an anode and a cathode. When an electric current is applied to the setup, oxidation occurs at the anode. At the cathode, which consists of a large metal surface, metal ions undergo reduction and deposit onto the surface.
Electrodeposition can...

Performance benchmarking using Potassium Ferricyanide solution.
Validation using screen-printed (SP) electrodes in a two-working-electrode IDE configuration.

Main Results:

The integrated three-electrode IDE system demonstrated significantly enhanced sensitivity compared to two-electrode systems.
Oxidation peak current increased by 97-98%, and reduction peak current increased by 65-66% in the three-electrode system.
Low-cost 3D printed electrodes achieved high performance, comparable to screen-printed electrodes with minimal variation.
