Square Wave Electroanalysis at Generator-Collector Gold-Gold Double Hemisphere Junctions
in Electroanalysis
Description | Collector-generator systems have wide potential applications in analysis. We have shown how to make more sensitive and specific measurements by a combination of theory and experiment. We expect significant impact on the analytical community. |
Exploitation Route | We have published a review article on collector generator systems which already has 78 citations (Web of Science 2020). We have established a collaboration with a Spanish SME, Micrix (http://www.micruxfluidic.com/). This company makes dual electrode systems for analysis and we are together working on the optimisation of their commercial products. Collector-Generator systems are of wide use in energy research (notably in oxygen reduction). Our papers are already cited in this context. |
Sectors | Agriculture Food and Drink Chemicals Education Energy Environment Healthcare |
Description | Yes, the SME Micrux have made extensive use of our work in relation to their products, notably microband electrodes and arrays thereof. The collaboration continued throughout the project but not after. |
