Development of multimaterial fibers for new optrodes for photoelectrochemical analysis
 |
The development of miniaturized electrodes has been the subject of intense research for many years, due to the novel properties and applications accessible on a small scale. In this context, the PELICAN project aims to develop miniaturized sensors based on multi-material/multi-functional fibers to be used as optrodes for photoelectrochemical analysis. The ultimate goal will then be to integrate all the elements of an electrochemical cell into a single instrument in order to design a self-contained, "fully integrated" photoelectrochemical sensing system. The approach proposed by the PELICAN project consortium is the realization of multifunctional fibers combining several materials such as glasses, metals, and/or polymers. New approaches to stacking, drawing and 3D printing will be deployed to meet the challenge of manufacturing multi-material, multi-functional fibers. Optrodes will then be fabricated using a photoactive semiconductor electrode integrated on multimaterial optical fibers. |
