Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are a popular strategy for surface functionalization of electrodes, yet hardly studied for defect-rich or porous materials. Here we give an overview of our group's systematic work on the SAM-functionalization of nanoporous gold (np-Au) obtained by electrochemical dealloying. Via in-situ resistometry, the different stages of the SAM formation process in the porous structure can be clearly distinguished [1].
As specific examples of SAM functionalities, we demonstrate electrochemical controllability of the surface charge [2], which is even superior on np-Au compared to planar electrodes, as well as a sensing application, namely the detection of fluoride ions in water [3], which relies on a SAM with a boronic acid functional group.
This work was financially supported by the Lead Project (LP-03) Porous Materials @ Work for Sustainability at TU Graz as well as the Austrian Science Fund FWF (P36409).
