Overview

Undergraduate laboratory demonstrates surface coverage of self-assembled monolayers on gold electrodes, suggesting insights into electrochemical analysis.

Key Points

  • The aim is to teach students how self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) form on gold electrodes and to measure their surface coverage.
  • Conduct chronocoulometry to find the electrode surface area.
  • Prepare and clean gold electrodes before experimentation.
  • Use a potentiostat for electrochemical measurements.
  • Analyze SAM packing and coverage based on electrode area.
  • Students successfully measure the surface area of gold electrodes.
  • Experimental results indicate successful formation and packing of SAMs on the electrodes.
