Advanced Materials in Electroanalysis

"Electroanalysis with New Electrode Materials and Advanced Electrochemical Devices".

Electroanalysis using modified hierarchical nanoporous carbon materials.

The role of the electrode nanoporosity in electroanalytical processes is discussed and specific phenomena (slow double layer charging, local pH effects) which can be present in porous electrode are described. Hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) materials are synthesized using a hard template method. The three dimensional carbon porosity is examined using scanning electron microscopy on flat surfac...

Carbon-based electrode materials for DNA electroanalysis.

This review addresses recent studies of newly developed carbon-based electrode materials and their use for DNA electroanalysis. Recently, new carbon materials including carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene and diamond-based nanocarbon electrodes have been actively developed as sensing platforms for biomolecules, such as DNA and proteins. Electrochemical techniques using these new material-based ele...

Advanced materials nanocharacterization

This special issue of Nanoscale Research Letters contains scientific contributions presented at the Symposium D "Multidimensional Electrical and Chemical Characterization at the Nanometer-scale of Organic and Inorganic Semiconductors" of the E-MRS Fall Meeting 2010, which was held in Warsaw, Poland from 13th to 17th September, 2010.

Advanced Micro-Lattice Materials

Topological management of materials at a Micro-scale is one of the fundamental building principles of nature. This combination of material and structural properties results in marked changes in the properties of solids. Nowadays physicists, chemists, materials scientists and engineers explore those effects by synthesizing, characterizing, and modeling Micro-lattice materials from all material c...
