Abstract

We report a simple, low cost, electrochemical deposition method to pattern gold nanoparticles on flexible, transparent, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films, and demonstrate the application of the gold-patterned SWCNT films as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrates and biosensing electrodes for non-enzymatic glucose detection.
