摘要

We measured and analyzed the electrochemical impedance of carbon nanotube (CNT) probe electrodes fabricated through the physical separation of insulated CNT bridges. The fabricated CNT electrodes were free-standing CNTs that were completely covered with an insulator, except for their tips. Typical dimensions of the nanoelectrodes were 1-10nm in CNT diameter, 80-300nm in insulator diameter, 0.5-4μm in exposed CNT length and 1-10μm in probe length. The electrochemical impedance at frequencies ranging from 40Hz to 1MHz was measured in physiological saline. The measured impedance of the CNT electrode was constant at 32MΩ at frequencies below 1kHz and was inversely proportional to frequency at frequencies above 10kHz. By means of comparison with the parasitic capacitive impedance of the insulator membrane, we confirmed that the electrode was sufficiently insulated such that the measured constant impedance was given by the exposed CNT tip. Consequently, we can use the CNT electrode for highly localized electrochemical impedance measurements below 1kHz. Considering an equivalent circuit and the nanoscopic dimensions of the CNT electrode, we demonstrated that the constant impedance was governed by diffusion impedance, whereas the solution resistance, charge-transfer resistance and double-layer capacitance were negligible.
