Nanomaterial electrodes are used to improve the analytical performances of electrochemical measurements in biological and chemical field. Frequently used methods for fabricating metal nanostructures are solution processing and electrodeposition. In the solution process, it is possible to control the characteristics (e.g., direction) of metal growth by using capping agents, thereby fabricating nanoparticles of specific structures. In the electrodeposition, the electrode surface and the deposited metal atoms are in direct contact. Each process has its own limitation as well, and many studies are conducted to overcome such limitation. In this paper, we report an integration of the two fabrication methods and the characteristics, such as structural and electrochemical properties, of the fabricated electrodes. Lastly, we discuss the possibility of using the fabricated nanostructured electrode as a sensor.
