Funded Activity Summary

Miniaturised Ionic Liquid Systems: Design, Electrochemistry and Application. The project aims to develop a new generation of miniature electrochemical devices based on ionic liquids, salts that are liquid at room temperature. In making these devices the project will study the fundamental physicochemical and electrochemical behaviour of the ionic liquid microinterfaces formed, and this will allow optimisation and enhancement of their properties. A gas sensor made of a micro-pattern of ionic liquid drops will be designed to detect gaseous toxic amines, which are released from numerous anthropogenic sources including waste water, sewage treatment, farms and industry. These sensors will be small, specific to the target gas, sensitive, fast in response and portable.
