    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns open-end carbon nanotubes assembled as a microelectrode array in electrode sets/micro-electrode sets (ES/micro-ES). The ES/micro-ES includes three electrodes that are made of highly densified multi-walled carbon nanotubes fibers (HD-CNTfs) sectioned into rods embedded in an inert polymer film with exposed open ends of CNTs at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The ES/micro-ES provide miniature electrochemical sensing devices in which all electrodes are based on carbon nanomaterials. The combination of dimensions and orientation provides for highly sensitive electrochemical determination (picomolar) of different electroactive analytes in different electrolyte mediums, where even a single drop of desired analyte solution will be enough for electrochemical characterization.

    Abstract: A microneedle biosensor includes a microneedle and a substrate. One end of the microneedle is connected to the substrate, an outer surface of the microneedle is provided with a working electrode and a first electrode, an outer surface of the working electrode is provided with an enzyme, and an outer surface of the microneedle biosensor is covered with a biocompatible film. A method for manufacturing a microneedle biosensor includes: manufacturing the substrate and the microneedle in an additive mode simultaneously; spray-printing and curing the working electrode and the first electrode on the outer surface of the microneedle; spray-printing and drying the enzyme on the outer surface of the working electrode; and using biocompatible liquid for spray-printing, and drying the biocompatible liquid to form the biocompatible film. The substrate, the microneedle, the working electrode, the first electrode, the enzyme and the biocompatible film are all manufactured through a full printing method.

    Abstract: An integrated reference electrode for use in an electrochemical measurement system, comprising: a reference electrode in combination with a hygroscopic hydrogel electrolyte impregnated and contained in a porous framework, wherein the hygroscopic hydrogel electrolyte is adapted to contact the reference electrode when in a hydrated state. Also, an ion selective membrane with an aromatic epoxy polymer made from one or more monomers having at least one epoxide group, and a chloride salt or a silver—silver chloride physically trapped in the aromatic epoxy polymer. On contact with water the aromatic epoxy polymer forms a network of channels for ion exchange. The membrane may be used between an electrolyte and an external fluid environment; or the membrane may be coated upon the surface of a reference electrode.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a sensing electrode, an electrochemical sensing system using the sensing electrode, methods of preparing and using the sensing electrode and the electrochemical sensing system. The sensing electrode includes a base electrode having a conductive surface, and a coating layer formed on the conductive surface. The coating layer has cavities or holes, each of which can be filled with, bound to, or occupied by, an analyte molecule. A decrease of conductivity of the sensing electrode is correlated to the number of cavities or holes that are filled with, bound to, or occupied by, the molecules of the analyte. The invention exhibits numerous technical merits such as suitability for field application, high sensitivity to analyte such as PFOA or PFAS at 1 ppt level, rapid response within minutes, and superior selectivity against interferences such as PFDA, PFOS, PFOSA, and PFHxA, among others.
