We have explored a novel dry plasma process for the fabrication of electrodes on Nafion surfaces. Nanosized pillar structures were prepared through argon ion (Ar+) plasma treatment. The shear strengths of Au electrodes on plasma-treated Nafion surfaces were investigated. We found that the maximum shear strength (1.08 MPa) of Au-Nafion was observed under the optimal conditions (8 min, 100 W, 5 Pa, Ar+). Finally, we successfully prepared strongly bonded Au electrodes on Nafion through plasma surface treatment without using a wet plating process.
