MOLECULAR SENSOR WITH MESOPOROUS METAL FILM, REDOX CATALYST, AND LITHIUM ION BATTERY ELECTRODE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a molecular sensor that offers higher sensitivity and more stable operation.SOLUTION: Voltage is applied to electrodes immersed in an amphiphilic block copolymer micelle solution mixed with a metal compound, such as gold, to deposit the micelle on one of the electrodes, thereby forming on the electrode a new mesoporous film of the metal to be used as a sensor. Using the film for detecting glucose or the like enables high-sensitivity detection, and stable performance is exhibited as a portion used for detection has a stable integral structure in the form of a film, rather than powder, and a uniform and controllable pore size.SELECTED DRAWING: None
