Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to electrochemical analyte sensor electrodes that have one or more sensing structures, each structure has a respective perimeter at least partially around it to define the structure so that each of the structures have a liquid limiting barrier around their perimeters. The liquid limiting perimeter may completely or partially encompass the perimeter of each sensing structure of the electrode. Also provided are methods for fabricating the electrodes, analyte sensors employing the subject electrodes, and methods of using the analyte sensors in analyte monitoring.
