Fabrication and Application of Ion-Sensors Based on the Voltammetry of Nanocrystals Adhered to Electrode Surfaces

存在对生物学（血液、尿）、工业（工艺流）和环境（河流、湖泊）重要流体中的阳离子和阴离子的低成本测定的显著需求。 在这一项目中，由莫纳什大学、维多利亚化学科学研究所、牛津生物传感器和牛津大学的科学家组成的一个联合会提供的传感器设计、科学仪器、材料科学、电化学和分析科学方面的技能将被综合起来，以制造和开发商业上可行的离子传感系统的应用。 要利用的原理是基于粘附到电极表面的纳米晶体的伏安法的新形式。

A significant need exists for the low cost determination of cations and anions in biologically (blood, urine), industrially (process streams) and environmentally (rivers, lakes) important fluids. In this project, skills in sensor design, scientific instrumentation, materials science, electrochemistry and analytical science provided by a consortium of scientists at Monash University, the Victorian Institute for Chemical Sciences, Oxford Biosensors and Oxford University will be integrated to fabricate and develop applications of commercially viable ion-sensing systems. The principles to be utilised are based on novel forms of voltammetry of nanocrystals adhered to electrode surfaces.
