Abstract

The effect of constant magnetic field strength on activation of sensors modified with graphene oxide monolayers was investigated. The use of constant magnetic field resulted in improved electroanalytical properties of the sensors. It was proven that level of GO activation is clearly related to constant magnetic field strength. Moreover, it was demonstrated that observed phenomenon is stable in time.
