!--[if gte mso 9]> 1024x768 BoltornH30 molecule is the third generation of a commercial polyhydroxylatedhyperbranched polymer with an almost globular shape of 3,3 nm average diameter,which has an endo-receptor cavity that can be used for ions or some other smallmolecules inclusion. In this work, we analyze the spontaneous adsorption ofBoltorn H30 on carbon substrates with the aim of generating nanostructuredsurfaces with the ability to capture or retain copper cations (II) inside.Afterwards, the formed films were taken to an electrochemical cell to reducethe cation and generate metallic structures using the hyperbranched polymer asa template. The platforms developed with electrodeposited copper are useful forthe electrocatalysis of hydrogen peroxide. Along this work, the studiedsurfaces were characterized by m
