Nanogap electrodes are elements of nanoscale microfluidic devices and sensors, and have been prepared by different techniques. The presented idea is to build a pair of nanogap electrodes using novel nanowire-electrodeposition approaches. The nanogap electrodes, or the precursor nanowires are to be aligned with a nanogap size of < 10 nm, required for molecular sensing, and exhibit high electronic conductivity, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, scalable productivity, and most important be economically viable.
