  • Publication number: 20230340641
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electrode for measuring an analyte. The electrode includes a first base layer, a first electrode layer upon the first base layer, and a second base layer. The first electrode layer is arranged between the first base layer and the second base layer. The first base layer includes a conductive metal, a conductive metal alloy, or carbon. The first electrode layer includes ruthenium metal, a ruthenium based metal alloy, nickel metal, or a nickel based metal alloy. The first base layer is made of different elements than the first electrode layer. The first base layer is more conductive than the first electrode layer.

  • Patent number: 11499206
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to electrodes for biosensors. An electrode is made from a stack including (A) a layer made from ruthenium metal, a ruthenium-based alloy, nickel metal, or a nickel-based alloy; and (B) a layer made from a conductive metal or conductive metal alloy or carbon. The resulting electrode stack has physical and electrical property advantages when compared with existing pure metal electrodes.
