Herein, we propose a facile fabrication procedure for platinum (Pt) nanoprobes. Our approach consists in performing a one-step electrochemical etching using a mixture of DI water, acetone, and CaCl. Our technique is self-terminated and thus does not necessitate a cut-off circuit nor other sophisticated equipment or set-up commonly used in the fabrication process of Pt nanoprobes. The Pt nanoprobes thereby manufactured demonstrate small tip radii, a high aspect-ratio, no detectable surface contamination, and good reproducibility.
在此，我们提出了一种简便的铂（Pt）纳米探针制造方法。我们的方法是使用去离子水、丙酮和氯化钙的混合物进行一步电化学蚀刻。我们的技术是自终止的，因此不需要切断电路，也不需要铂纳米探针制造过程中常用的其他复杂设备或装置。由此制造的铂纳米探针显示出小的尖端半径、高纵横比、无可检测的表面污染以及良好的重现性。
