Modulating the Geometry of the Carbon Nanofiber Electrodes Provides Control over Dopamine Sensor Performance.

ABSTRACT: One of the major challenges for in vivo electrochemical measurements of dopamine (DA) is to achieve selectivity in the presence of interferents, such as ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). Complicated multimaterial structures and ill-defined pretreatments have been frequently utilized to enhance selectivity. The lack of control over the realized structures has prevented establishing associations between the achieved selectivity and the electrode structure. Owing to their easily tailorable structure, carbon nanofiber (CNF) electrodes have become promising materials for neurobiological applications. Here, a novel yet simple strategy to control the sensitivity and selectivity of CNF electrodes toward DA is reported. It consists of adjusting the lengths of CNF by modulating the growth phase
