The primary objective of these designs is clearly outlined in "Electrolysis Activation of Fused Filament Fabrication 3D Printed Electrodes for Electrochemical and Spectroelectrochemical Analysis," a study published in the renowned journal Analytical Chemistry. The article's DOI is 10.1021/acs.analchem.9b01331. This specific component is a straightforward square design tailored to fit within the 4-point probe instrument used for conductivity measurements. Our team has successfully printed this part using both ProtoPasta (https://www.proto-pasta.com/products/conductive-pla) and BlackMagic (http://www.blackmagic3d.com/default.asp) PLA-composite 3D printing filaments, which are available online. For further details on the conductivity enhancement, please refer to the post-printing information. Activation of the electrode can be achieved through a simple soaking process, resulting in an impressive enhancement of conductivity over three orders of magnitude, as demonstrated by our experimental results.
