Welcome from the Chair
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to join the 1st International Electronic Conference on Chemical Sensors and Analytical Chemistry (CSAC2021) that will be hosted online from 1 to 15 July 2021 at https://sciforum.net/conference/CSAC2021.
What can be foreseen is that chemical sensors will play a continued and critical role in our society. In particular, in recent years, the dangers posed by biological agents and naturally occurring agents like SARS-CoV-2 have fully materialized from just a conceptual threat on the horizon to the currently realized global pandemic. So how to monitor and detect these agents has been becoming increasingly important. There has never been a greater need for (chemo)sensors, and, just like every other technology we need to develop, it all starts with research and the dissemination and sharing of that research in a scholarly form.
The scope of this online conference is to get together worldwide well-known experts who are currently working in chemical sensor technologies and to provide an online forum for presenting and discussing new results.
Throughout this event, we aim to cover, among others, the following topics:
- Electrochemical Devices and Sensors
- Optical Chemical Sensors
- Mass-Sensitive Sensors
- Materials for Chemical Sensing
- Nano- and Micro-Technologies for Sensing
- Chemical Assay and Validation
- Chemical Sensor Applications
- Analytical Methods
- Gas Sensors and Apparatus
- Electronic Noses
- Electronic Tongues
- Microfluidic Devices
- Lab-on-a-chip
- Single-Molecule Sensing
- Nanosensors
- Medico-Diagnostic Testing
We hope you will join us and present your work at CSAC to be part of this stimulating online experience.
Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Nicole Jaffrezic-Renault

Title: ‘Electrolyte-gated field-effect transistors for monitoring photosynthetic activity’ Electrolyte-gated field-effect transistors (EGFETs) are now well-known, in particular for biosensing applications. They are capacitively coupled i.e., driven by changes in capacitance at the electrolyte/gate or electrolyte/semiconductor interface. As for all field-effect transistors, any current flowing at the gate electrode is seen as a drawback. However, it is interesting to compare the operating principle of such transistors to that of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) that switch on and off triggered by a gate current caused by a faradaic reaction. We will demonstrate here that not only the gate potential can trigger the source-drain current of EGFETs, but that the current flowing at the gate can also be used. Because EGFETs can work directly in water, and as an example of application, we will demonstrate the possibility to monitor photosynthesis from microorganisms, through the electroreduction, on the gate, of the oxygen produced. Two materials were used: an organic semiconductor, to make an EGOFET, or reduced graphene oxide to make an EGGFET. Also, two architectures were used: a liquid electrolyte (simply water), or a hydrogel immobilized onto the gate. In this case, the cyanobacteria were entrapped into the hydrogel. A final application could be the detection of water pollutants. The presence of herbicides such as diuron or glyphosate, which strongly affect the cyanobacteria’s photosynthetic activity, were efficiently detected using these devices. We will also show that such devices can be entirely obtained by fabrication processes such as printing.
Benoît Piro is full professor in Université de Paris (France), Chemistry department. He developed various kinds of electrochemical biosensors directed to target molecules such as miRNA, proteins, peptides, antibodies, organic pollutants and participated in their economic valorization through several collaborations with biotech companies. Beyond conventional electrochemical sensors, he developed organic electronic devices e.g., organic field effect transistors and more precisely electrolyte-gated OFETs and graphene FETs (GFETs) able to operate in aqueous media, paving the way for applications in the medical or environmental fields. He also developed a number of flexible printed devices using inkjet-, screen- or dispensing- printing, for chemical and physical sensing.

Title: ‘Ingestible gas sensing capsules’ Ingestible sensors are powerful tools for monitoring human health. Such ingestible sensors have been developed for monitoring pH and pressure readings or monitor medication. As a breakthrough in the field of smart ingestible sensors, we have developed and commercialized an ingestible capsule that can assess the chemical compositions of the gut. Here a series of human pilot trials of an ingestible electronic capsule that can sense oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide will be reported. The capsule uses a combination of thermal conductivity and semiconducting sensors, and their selectivity and sensitivity to different gases is controlled by adjusting the heating elements of the sensors. Gas profiles of the subjects were obtained while modulating gut microbial fermentative activities by altering their intake of dietary fibre. Ultrasound imaging confirmed that the oxygen-equivalent concentration profile could be used as an accurate marker for the location of the capsule. Regional fermentation patterns could be defined via hydrogen gas profiles. Our gas capsule offers an accurate and safe tool for monitoring the effects of diet of individuals, and has the potential to be used as a diagnostic tool for the gut.

sciforum-047222 | Electrochemical detection of fenthion insecticide in olive oils by a sensitive non-enzymatic biomimetic sensor enhanced with metal nanoparticles | , , , | N/A | N/A |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fenthion (FEN) is an organophosphate insecticide that has a cholinesterase inhibitory effect and very high toxicity to the natural ecosystem. This paper describes a new approach for FEN detection via an electrochemical sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). This synthetic receptor is fabricated by first immobilizing a 2-aminothiophenol (2-ATP) mixed with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on a screen-printed gold electrode (Au-SPE). Then, the FEN template was linked on Au-SPE/ATP-AuNPs before being covered with 2-ATP polymer membrane. The morphological characterization of the electrode's surface was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods were used for the electrochemical characterization. The proposed MIP sensor exhibits a low detection limit of 0.04 µg/mL over a range of 0.01-17.3 µg/mL. Additionally, the sensor was successfully applied for the FEN determination in olive oil samples with recovery values of 87.5%- 96%. These results deduced that the developed electrochemical MIP sensor could be a promising candidate for organophosphate insecticide detection in real samples. |

Micro gas sensors detect the presence of substances, but can hardly identify them. We developed a novel approach of probing referenceable ionization energies. It extends the photoionization principle towards tunable energies via replacement of photons by accelerated photo electrons. The device comprises UV-LED illumination, an atmospherically stable photoelectron emission layer with a nano-vacuum electronics accelerator realized in thin film technology and charged particle measurement. A voltage variation at the accelerator provides electrons of tunable energies. The resulting system works at high pressures and reaches ambient laboratory air operability. We were able to prove that variable electron energies can be used for VOC detection using ethyl and butyl acetates, methyl mercaptan, alcoholes, DMSO and trichloro ethylene. The signals observed are resulting from ion scattering which overlays the original electron beam current and can be described borrowing from the old models of thyratron electron tubes and ion mobility spectrometers. The energy resolution which has been reached so far is 0,2 eV and is discussed with respect to the achievable performance data that have been estimated on the basis of theoretical considerations. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Spectroscopic sensing of chiral substances with chemosensors has attracted much attentions in the field of supramolecular chemistry. We previously reported that p-phenylene-bridged bispyrrole bearing N-alkylimino groups becomes an acid-responsive single trichromatic BOG (blue, orange, and green) luminescent dye capable of emitting pure WL in solution.[1]The observed variable emission originates from its trichromatic luminescent behavior upon protonation of the imino groups. As an extension of the study, we newly designed the m-phenylene-bridged bispyrrole bearing N-substituted imino groups as an acyclic chemosensor for carboxylic acids. We expected that the imino (Schiff base) groups specifically bind the carboxylic acid via acid-base hydrogen bonding interactions. This guest-binding might bring about the specific conformational changes of the host molecule to give the characteristic spectral changes in UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence, and CD spectroscopies. In this poster presentation, we report synthesis and chemoseising behaviors of the three-types of m-phenylene-bridged bispyrrole bearing N-pyridyl, benzyl, or alkyl substituted imino groups. These bispyrrole derivatives showed spectral changes in the absorption and CD spectroscopy upon mixing with chiral dibenzoyl tartaric acid and mandelic acid. Especially, the pyridyl-substituted bispyrrole showed characteristic and relatively stronger Cotton effect in CD spectroscopy, which may originate from the multi-points and multi-step host-guest interactions.

Water is fundamental for all the Earth’s living forms, and a key issue for social and economic development. Some of the metals that can be found in water are: Cu, Cd and Pb and a high concentration of these metals can have consequences on human health. Many carbon materials are well-known conductive material, widely used in the fabrication of composite electrodes. In this work, diverse allotropic forms of carbon as graphite, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were tested. Furthermore, these materials allow the construction of cheaper, smaller, portable, reliable, and easy to use devices, which can be easily modified by two routes, on surface or matrix. To use said composites electrodes for metal detection, Square Wave Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (SWASV) is the select technique, which consists in two steps. Fist, applying a potential to preconcentrate the analyte on the surface of the electrode and second the measurement is performed applying staircase potential and the current generated is recorded. To increase the sensitivity of the composite sensor, it would be ideal to exploit the potential properties of mercury for metal detection by tuning electrode’s surface. Due to mercury’s hazardous properties and to reduce the amount used in polarography, the use of nanoparticles is a good option due to their properties. Mercury nanoparticles were used to modify the surface of the composite electrodes to improve electroanalytical sensor response. |

Nowadays scandium is widely used in high-tech fields such as electronics, aerospace, optics, catalysis, and metallurgical industries due to its unique physical, chemical, electric and magnetic characteristics. With the growth of miscellaneous commercial applications of this element and its compounds, monitoring of scandium in technological processes is in demand and thereby making it interesting in the analytical chemistry area. Different conventional analytical methods have been employed to measure scandium, and the most often applied are ICP-MS and ICP-AES. Despite the high precision and sensitivity of these tools, serious drawbacks including sophisticated and time-consuming analysis limit their wide use. On the other hand, potentiometric sensors possess merits over these conventional analytical methods due to their cost-effectiveness and reagent-free procedures as well as their reasonable precision and rapid response time. Potentiometric sensors based on polymeric membranes are routinely used to measure different cations and anions, but no study has yet been carried out for scandium sensors. This research is devoted to the development of Sc3+ potentiometric sensors. A series of potentiometric electrodes with polymer plasticized membranes was prepared using different neutral ligands adopted from liquid extraction of rare earth metals as sensing components. These ligands include phosphine oxides and diamides of various organic acids. The membranes also contained poly(vinylchloride) as polymeric matrix, o-nitrophenyloctyl ether as a solvent-plasticizer, and chlorinated cobalt dicarbollide or fluorinated tetraphenyl borate derivatives as cation-exchangers. Most sensors exhibited Nernstian or super-Nernstian response towards Sc3+ across the concentration range (10-5 – 10-3 M) with a low detection limit of about 0.4 mg/l in acidic media (pH=2). Interferences from other rare earth metals were measured by the separate solution method, and most of the proposed sensors were found to be more selective towards Sc3+. Reproducible, stable, and precise results for sensing properties of the developed sensors imply the relevance of using these instruments for scandium quantification in real technological solutions. |
