    Abstract: The present invention provides a microelectrode, comprising a flexible layer, an electrically conductive layer and a plurality of platinum dendrite structures, wherein the electrically conductive layer is arranged in the flexible layer, and wherein on the surface of the flexible layer are a plurality of grooves within which the electrically conductive layer is revealed partially, and wherein each of the groove is provided with one platinum dendrite structure therein. The plurality of grooves serve as focal electrodes distributed uniformly, with smaller electrode sites and more recording points. The modified platinum dendrite structures increase the surface area, electrical performance, biocompatibility and service life of the microelectrode. Besides, creating virtual electrodes by current steering technique increases the number of stimuli received by microelectrode during use, and improves its resolution in applications.

    Abstract: Provided are composite array electrode, preparation method thereof and use thereof. The composite array electrode comprises a microelectrode array substrate, and a modification layer formed on a surface of a microelectrode of the microelectrode array substrate, wherein the modification layer comprises a plurality of electrically conductive layers arranged at intervals on the surface of the microelectrode, an insulating layer arranged on the surface of the microelectrode except the electrically conductive layers, and wherein material for the electrically conductive layers comprises one or more of nano platinum, nano iridium, conductive polymer and carbon nanotubes. The composite array electrode effectively eliminates the influence of edge effect such that the electric field distributes uniformly on the microelectrode surface of the composite array electrode, significantly improving electrochemical performance and detection capability of the electrode.
