Modelling Amperometric Biosensors Based on Chemically Modified Electrodes

The response of an amperometric biosensor based on a chemically modified electrode was modelled numerically. A mathematical model of the biosensor is based on a system of non-linear reaction-diffusion equations. The modelling biosensor comprises two compartments: an enzyme layer and an outer diffusion layer. In order to define the main governing parameters the corresponding dimensionless mathem...

Novel reagentless electrodes for biosensing

Analytical chemical information is needed in all areas of human activity including health care, pharmacology, food control and environmental chemistry. Today one of the main challenges in analytical chemistry is the development of methods to perform accurate and sensitive rapid analysis and monitoring of analytes in ‘real’ samples. Electrochemical biosensors are ideally suited for these applica...

Microfabricated Reference Electrodes and their Biosensing Applications

Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing trend towards miniaturization of both biological and chemical sensors and their integration with miniaturized sample pre-processing and analysis systems. These miniaturized lab-on-chip devices have several functional advantages including low cost, their ability to analyze smaller samples, faster analysis time, suitability for automation, a...

Chemically Modified Metal Oxide Nanostructures Electrodes for Sensing and Energy Conversion

The goal of this thesis is the development of scalable, low cost synthesis of metal oxide nanostructures based electrodes and to correlate the chemical modifications with their energy conversion performance. Methods in energy conversion in this thesis have focused on two aspects; a potentiometric chemical sensor was used to determine the analytical concentration of some components of the analyt...
