On the project

Předkládaný projekt je zaměřen na systematickou studii vlivu krystalinity polymerního elektrolytu a morfologie uhlíkové elektrody na transport elektrického náboje na rozhraní elektroda/elektrolyt z hlediska fyzikálních a funkčních vlastností elektrochemických senzorů plynu. Hlavní přínos a originalita projektu spočívá v analýze a vyhodnocení fluktuace transportu elektrického náboje přes různou morfologií rozhraní elektroda/elektrolyt, a to vedle klasických metod. Stochastický proces se totiž stává dominantní charakteristikou každého elektrochemického systému, jak je zmenšován rozměr jeho aktivního rozhraní. Cílem projektu není potlačit proudové fluktuace senzoru vznikající vystavení senzoru okolnímu chemickému prostředí, ale využít další informace o chemických procesech probíhajících na rozhraní elektroda/elektrolyt ke zlepšené selektivitě a citlivosti elektrochemického senzoru.

Description in English
The proposal focuses on a systematic investigation of the effect of polymer electrolyte crystallinity and carbon electrode morphology on charge transport and its fluctuations in electrochemical gas sensors from the perspective of physical and functional properties of selected gas sensors. Main contribution and originality of the project consist in analysis and evaluation of fluctuations of charge transport through electrode/electrolyte interfaces of various morphologies besides evaluation based on classical approaches. Stochastic behavior becomes dominant characteristic of electrochemical systems as the size of its active interfaces reduces. Thus, project goal is not to suppress the current fluctuations originating from chemical environment, but is to gain additional information about chemical processes being involved at electrode/electrolyte interface to enhance sensitivity and selectivity of sensor.
