  Formation of Alkane-Thiolates on Gold Electrode
  Author(s): Le Minh Cho*
  
  Since the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is the most typical organic assembly used to create alkane-thiolates monolayers on gold electrodes, the modified SAM on gold has a wide variety of applications in many different study fields. In order to determine the most effective method of SAM removal so the ICE can be reused, this work investigated the desorption of a SAM that was formed on the gold surface of an interdigitated chainshaped electrode (the ICE, a novel electrode design, was created by our lab). Using a sodium borohydride solution and a short-term treatment, a straightforward and effective solution-based cleaning approach was used to remove a SAM from the gold surface of the ICE. This procedure was successful in recovering 90.3% of the ICE's original electrochemical properties. The successful re-deposition of a SAM onto the electrode surface following t.. Read More»
