Regular microarray of Au flower-like structure formed by template-assisted electrodeposition: Influence factors and their electrochemical behavior

This paper describes a template-assisted method that combines the advantages of photolithography and electrochemical synthesis to construct a wafer-scale Au flower-like structure microarray. The detailed information about the effect of concentration of electrolyte, pattern of template substrate, applied potential, and surfactant on the formation of Au flower-like microarray is investigated. The possibility of using such a microarray as electrodes for their electrochemical properties is also tested by CV experiments.
