Sensor Arrays: Arrays of Micro- and Nanoelectrodes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Environmental Analysis by Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors

Part of the book series: Nanostructure Science and Technology ((NST))

Abstract

This chapter deals with the principles of functioning and electroanalytical usefulness of arrays of micrometer and nanometer-sized electrodes. We discuss arrays of microelectrodes both individually shaped and interdigitated. In the field of nanostructured electrodes, both nanoelectrode ensembles (random arrays) and ordered arrays are presented. A comparison between the fabrication methods, characteristics as well as advantages and limits of each kind of array are critically evaluated.
