| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this 3-year project is to develop novel catalytic materials for biosensors through the decoration of atomic-level metal clusters onto conjugated polymers using a unique cyclic atomic electrodeposition technique. The accomplishments include 7 peer-reviewed papers, presentations at 12 international conferences, and 4 domestic conferences. Of the 7 published papers, 6 are open access publications. Additionally, one of the conference presentations was delivered as an invited talk at an international conference.
The research commenced with the optimization of the original cyclic atomic electrodeposition technique, followed by the preparation and study of atomic pure metal clusters (such as Au, Pd, and Pt) on polyaniline. In the last fiscal year, the research progressed to the deposition of atomic Pd-Au alloy clusters, with the results already published in a peer-reviewed scientific paper.
