Microwave Enthrakometric Labs-On-A-Chip and On-Chip Enthrakometric Catalymetry: From Non-Conventional Chemotronics Towards Microwave-Assisted Chemosensors

Abstract

A unique chemical analytical approach is proposed based on the integration of chemical radiophysics with electrochemistry at the catalytically-active surface. This approach includes integration of: radiofrequency modulation polarography with platinum electrodes, applied as film enthrakometers for microwave measurements; microwave thermal analysis performed on enthrakometers as bolometric sensors; catalytic measurements, including registration of chemical self-oscillations on the surface of a platinum enthrakometer as the chemosensor; measurements on the Pt chemosensor implemented as an electrochemical chip with the enthrakometer walls acting as the chip walls; chemotron measurements and data processing in real time on the surface of the enthrakometric chip; microwave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements using an enthrakometer both as a substrate and a microwave power meter; microwave acceleration of chemical reactions and microwave catalysis оn the Pt surface; chemical generation of radio- and microwaves, and microwave spin catalysis; and magnetic isotope measurements on the enthrakometric chip. The above approach allows one to perform multiparametric physical and electrochemical sensing on a single active enthrakometric surface, combining the properties of the selective electrochemical sensor and an additive physical detector.

Reconfigurable Modular Platform for Prolonged Sensing of Toxic Gases in Particle Polluted Environments

“…The integration of microfluidic devices with other sensing technologies enables reliable and autonomous sensing platforms with high sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility [18][19][20]. Microwave resonator sensors offer attractive and non-contact solutions for the real-time monitoring of many events and properties in pipes and tubes where the need for the bulky detection systems and external characterization tools is eliminated [21,22]. Their working principle is based on the interaction between resonator electric fields and material properties in the sensor near surroundings.…”
