Nano@Sens

Nano@Sens laboratory explores the application of nanomaterials in the development of innovative electrochemical sensors for health and environmental monitoring. Our expertise holds the whole process leading to the realization of the devices, comprising the synthesis and characterization of tailored nanosized materials, their use in the fabrication of inkjet-printed electrodes, or the modification of conventional electrode surfaces by various deposition approaches. Another crucial pillar of the laboratory concerns the application of these advanced sensors in real matrices to facilitate their transfer in the health and environmental sensor market. The expertise of the former groups of Electroanalysis (prof. Salvatore Daniele) and Electrochemical Sensors (prof. Paolo Ugo) in the fabrication and use of microelectrodes and of the ensemble on nanoelectrodes completes the expertise of the group in the application of nano/micro devices in electrochemical sensing.
