Nanopatterned alumina-based materials for electrochemical sensors and biosensors
Kynclová, Hana ; Hynek, David (referee) ; Trnková, Libuše (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
The doctoral thesis is focused on basic research and development of nanostructured surfaces prepared using anodic alumina material. Various types of gold nanostructured surfaces and nanoporous aluminum membranes for electrochemical sensors and biosensors were prepared using the anodic oxidation method. Nanostructured surfaces were prepared by electrochemical anodization of aluminum material to form hexagonally arranged nanopores. Gold was then deposited into the nanoporous masks by electrochemical reduction from potassium dicyanoaurate solution using a pulse deposition method. The prepared nanostructured gold surfaces were electrochemically characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and voltammetry. Temperature stability and the effect of annealing on their electrochemical behavior at atmospheric pressure as well as in the vacuum were investigated. Then, gold nanostructures of various dimensions were prepared and the influence of their shape and dimensions on the electrochemical behavior was studied. Nanostructured surfaces were also modified with 11–mercaptoundecanoic acid, and the effect of this modification on the electrochemical results was studied. In the last part of the work, nanoporous aluminum membranes were prepared, and their permeability was studied.
