chemically modified electrode (CME) is an electrical conductor (material that has the ability to transfer electricity) that has its surface modified for differentelectrochemical functions. CMEs are modified using advanced approaches to electrode systems by adding a thin film or layer of certain chemicals to change properties of theconductor according to its targeted function.
At a modified electrode, an oxidation-reduction substance accomplishes electrocatalysis by transferring electrons from the electrode to a reactant, or a reactionsubstrate.
Modifying electrodes' surfaces has been one of the most active areas of research interest in electrochemistry since 1979, providing control over how electrodes interacts with their environments.
