Method of manufacturing an ultra-microelectrode

The present invention discloses a method of manufacturing an ultra-microelectrode and is characterized by sealing the top end of a capillary tube by adopting a flame fusing method, plating a dielectric film by adopting a cyclic voltammetry method for the first time and obtaining the top end of an ultra-microelectrode by using an electric shock method. Comparing with the traditional technology, thepresent invention discloses an ultra-microelectrode having a top end with a minimum diameter of 300-1000nm, having a uniform compact uneasy-falling dielectric film, and the size is controllable, thesensitivity is high, the steady-state current is reduced from 10[-7]A to 10[-9]A, the ultra-microelectrode can be tested in an organic system, and thus, application fields of the ultra-microelectrodeis widened greatly. The method has characteristics of simple manufacturing and low cost, and the manufactured ultra-microelectrode has a perfect electrochemical performance and can be used for singlecell detecting and probes of scanning electrochemical microscopes.
