Abstract
In this paper we present the low cost, batch compatible fabrication of a single-touch catalytically-activated electrochemical micropump, using hydrogen peroxide for the first time. After first mechanically initiation (e.g., a single finger touch), this micropump is capable of achieving high volume rate 67μl/min and high backpressure without the requirement for an electrical power source. These features make the micropump an ideal candidate for low-cost and compact microfluidic products.
