Fabrication of a Needle Microsensor and Its Applications in the Detection of Dissolved Oxygen

الملخص EN

A novel needle microsensor measurement system was fabricated and applied to determine the concentration of dissolved oxygen.

Platinum nanoparticles were employed to modify the surface of copper-core electrode in order to improve electrochemical response signal.

The homemade electrode displayed efficient electrocatalytic reduction activity towards dissolved oxygen.

The sensor responded linearly to dissolved oxygen in the range of 10 μM to 0.195 mM and had a remarkable sensitivity of 9.02 μA/mM.

In addition, it showed an excellent reproducibility, stability, and selectivity.

These results indicated that the needle microsensor when used, could yield good performance.

Moreover, it is believed to be a potential tool for studying specific substances at a cellular level or in vivo in future.
