Abstract

A simple preparation method for carbon nanopore electrode ensemble CNEE was reported. The CNEE consists of a number of pinholes which remain after coating a carbon surface with chromate. The transformation from transient to steady-state voltammetric behavior of carbon surface was presented. The effect of electrochemical technique to structure of chromate film was investigated. The optimum deposition time and optimum concentration of chromate solution for coating carbon surface substantially were determined for bulk electrolysis BE technique. On the other hand for cyclic voltammetry CV , the effects of scan rate, number of cycle and coating solution concentration on forming uniform partly-insulating layer have been examined. The CNEE prepared by BE technique showed larger hysteresis which means more resistivity than the one prepared by CV. Under the optimum coating conditions the thinner and more useful CNEE with lower resistivity can be prepared by CV
