For the electrodes we used the Screen printed Carbon Electrodes from Pine Instruments. These electrodes needed to be plated in zinc phthalocyanine for our purposes.
- Dissolve 100µg of zinc phthalocyanine in 10mL of DMF.
- Stir until dissolved.
- Dip only the working electrode (outer electrode) into the solution, and hold it there for 5 seconds.
- Let the electrode air dry until there is no more solution present on the electrode.
NOTE: This should be performed in a fume hood due to the toxic nature of DMF
