Abstract

New surfaces were created by modifying gold electrode for electropolymerization of thiophene in aqueous media. The first step in modified electrode production was self assembled monolayer (SAM) coating. Thereby, surfaces with controllable chemical functionalities were obtained. The second step was gold nanoparticle (AuNP) deposition above this coating. Characterization of surfaces was made with electrochemical and spectroscopic methods.
