Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Surface nanostructuring with metal nanoparticles has gained importance because of the unique physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. We have fabricated nanostructured surfaces on the basis of the sequential electrochemical deposition of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) onto glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs). To increase the number density of the Pd NPs at the GC electrode surface, successive rounds of deposition/protection cycles were realized. Freshly deposited Pd NPs were immediately capped with 6-ferrocenylhexanethiol (Fc-CSH) to prevent secondary nucleation processes from occurring during subsequent deposition rounds. This approach allowed us to maintain a narrow size distribution and, as such, the inherent properties of the deposited Pd NPs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to confirm the successful deposition as well as to measure the size and spatial distribution of the deposited Pd NPs. SEM image analysis results showed that the number density of Pd NPs increased in each sequential deposition stage. The anodic peak current signal recorded for the electroactive SAM of Fc-C SH following six consecutive deposition/protection cycles was found to be 75 times higher than that formed on a bulk palladium electrode. Finally, for comparison, gold NPs were deposited on GCEs following the same approach and exhibited considerably reduced signal enhancement properties as compared to the Pd NPs. The work presented here should find wide applicability for enhancing sensor signals by specifically structuring transducer surfaces on the nanoscale. ©2010 American Chemical Society.
