Abstract
In this work, we describe the fabrication of a transparent gold electrode based on nanocellulose. The electrode was prepared via electron beam evaporation of gold onto nanocellulose films previously spread over a glass slip. Electrodes with different thickness of Au was fabricated, and the material's optical, morphological and electrical properties were assessed. Finally, as a proof of concept, a possible application of this electrode in hydrogen peroxide sensing was performed. The results show that a thin layer of gold on a nanocellulose translucid film allows obtaining a conductive transparent surface that could be used to design a transparent electrode.
