• diameter of the resulting pores. Here, the irradiated foils were etched for 5 min in a 6 M NaOH solution at 50 °C to fabricate channels with diameters of about 110 nm. A low resolution and a high resolution SEM image of such an ion-track etched membrane are depicted in Figure S1 of Supporting Information

• on the electrode. [51] Figure 1b shows four CVs recorded using a Au layer deposited on the bottom side of a track-etched membrane with 109 pores/cm2 as working electrode. This Au backlayer on the membrane was prepared by sputtering of Au and electrodeposition of Au from a sulfide-based electrolyte
