Applications of nano particles in increasing sensor signals
Abstract
Different types of elelectrochemical sensors were studied from thepoint of view of possibility to enhanced signal response by usinggold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes. The measurement wasperformed by using amperometry and cyclic voltamometry. Fortesting, gold and platinum porous or nonporous and graphite sensors were taken. All tested layers with nanoparticles, especially with carbon nanotubes, provided higher response comparing to layers without nanoparticles. Sensors from porous platinum gave the highest response.
