This invention relates to electrode assemblies for use in an electrochemical sensor, the electrode assembly comprising: a first conductive layer comprising a first electrode surface and a first contact area, a second conductive layer comprising a second electrode surface and a second contact area, and a first dielectric layer where said first dielectric layer is adjacent to said first conductive layer, wherein said second conductive layer and said first dielectric layer do not cover at least a part of the first and at least a part of the second electrode surface and do not cover at least a part of the first and at least a part of the second contact area. The present also relates to methods of manufacturing such electrode assemblies. In this way, modification of conventional 2D structures into sandwiched or 3D structures containing at least two separated conductive layers is provided by a sequential application of further layers constituting at least one dielectric layer and one further conducting layer to the original 2D structure. The dielectric layer may be applied first, followed by the application of a further electrical conducting layer. Alternatively the conventional 2D layer may be modified by lamination of a further 2D layer, thus forming a sandwiched structure. |
