Novel Electrode Systems for Enhanced Sensing and Analysis

There is a pressing need for the development of enhanced electrochemical sensor systems of high fidelity,particularly for healthcare and energy applications. This talk will outline two aspects of enhancement; thedevelopment and characterisation of novel enhanced microelectrode and nanoelectrode systems and the designand functionalisation of electrodes with selected materials for specific sensing and analysis. Novel singleelectrode and multielectrode devices will be presented which have been designed and produced throughmicrofabrication, showing both their predicted theoretical and established experimental response.Developments in two application areas will then be presented, where specific materials functionalisation hasbeen carried out to produce electrodes tailored to selective sensing. In the first application, progress towardsenhanced biosensors which detect disease-relevant markers from real-world biological matrices with enhancedrapidity and sensitivity will be outlined. The second application area addressed will be the development ofsensing and analysis systems suited to measurement in the hostile environment of molten salts. Molten salts arean attractive medium for chemical and electrochemical processing with potential applications in pyrochemicalnuclear fuel reprocessing, metal refining, molten salt batteries and electric power cells and as a result there isdemand for molten salt-compatible sensing technologies. Work to develop suitable sensing technologies willbe presented and discussed.
