MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPECTROELETROQUIMICA: DEVELOPMENT OF SENSORS FOR ON-SITE ANALYSIS

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Province of Burgos (NUTS ES412); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 70,180; EU co-financing EUR 35,090 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2015-01-01 to 2018-06-30. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION THAT IS TAKING PLACE DURING THE 21ST CENTURY TRANSLATES INTO NEW CHALLENGES FOR CHEMISTRY. OUR SOCIETY CONTINUOUSLY DEMANDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SENSORS, BOTH ELECTROQUIMICOS AND SPECTROSCOPIC, TO MONITOR VERY DIFFERENT PROCESSES AND DETERMINE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANALYTES. THANKS TO THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES, THE POWER OF THE ANALYSIS INSTRUMENTS HAS GROWN EXPONENTIALLY, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THEIR ELECTRONIC QUALITY BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE GREAT AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THEY CAN EXTRACT ABOUT A CHEMICAL SYSTEM. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE GREATER THE ANALYTIC INFORMATION, THE EASIER THE DETERMINATION OF AN ANALYTE IN A COMPLEX MATRIX. CURRENTLY THE COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES IS MUCH MORE VIABLE THAN A FEW YEARS AGO. A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF THIS IS SPECTROELECTROQUIMICA. THIS TECHNIQUE CAN BE USED FOR VERY DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS SUCH AS THE ELUCIDACION OF REACTION MECHANISMS, THE CHARACTERISATION OF MATERIALS, THE DETERMINATION OF COMPOUNDS, ETC. IN THIS PROJECT WE WILL USE WHAT WE CALL MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPECTROELECTROQUIMICA IN THE SENSE THAT THE COMBINATION OF DEVICES, SPECTRAL ZONE AND ELECTRODES ALLOWS TO DESCRIBE AND OPTIMISE THE ANALYTIC PROCESS, FROM THE DESIGN OF THE SENSOR MORE SUITABLE FOR A CERTAIN ANALYTE TO THE USE OF THIS TECHNIQUE IN THE DETERMINATION OF THIS ANALYTE IN A COMPLEX MATRIX. TO THIS END, A BATTERY OF SPECTROELECTROQUIMIC DEVICES WILL BE DEVELOPED THAT COMBINED WITH THOSE ALREADY BUILT BY OUR RESEARCH GROUP WILL ALLOW US TO OBTAIN MOLECULAR INFORMATION USING SPECTROELECTROQUIMICA UV/VIS/NIR ABSORPTION, VIBRATIONAL INFORMATION USING RAMAN AND INFORMATION ON ELECTRONIC TRANSFER IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELECTRODES DESIGNED FOR THE DETERMINATION OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL INTERES. THE NEW DEVICES WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO FACE CHALLENGES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO ADDRESS TODAY. THUS, WE WILL DEVELOP A CELL THAT WILL ALLOW THE SIMULTANEOUS USE OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY AND ABSORPTION, OBTAINING INFORMATION NOT ONLY [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
