1. Chemically Modified Metal Oxide Nanostructures Electrodes for Sensing and Energy Conversion
Abstract : The goal of this thesis is the development of scalable, low cost synthesis of metal oxide nanostructures based electrodes and to correlate the chemical modifications with their energy conversion performance. Methods in energy conversion in this thesis have focused on two aspects; a potentiometric chemical sensor was used to determine the analytical concentration of some components of the analyte solution such as dopamine, glucose and glutamate molecules.

2. Synthesis of Nanoparticles and Organometallic Complexes for Gas Sensing
Abstract : Currently metal nanoparticles (NPs) are a subject of interest regarding many applications, in particular chemical gas sensing, as the associated environmental issues are of substantial importance. Metal NPs are attractive due to their fascinating optical properties and primarily, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) which strongly depends on size and shape of NPs. READ MORE

3. Development and use of an optical pCO2 sensor in marine studies
Abstract : Partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) is one of the most important parameters, which are measured in the global ocean in conjunction with ocean acidification studies. It is also a parameter of great interest to aquaculture and fish industries since CO2 in large amounts is highly toxic for animals. The requirements for pCO2 measuring systems, e.g. READ MORE

4. Synthesis and characterization of Pd nanoparticles for plastic plasmonic sensing applications
Abstract : It is well known that hydrogen mixed with air forms a highly flammable mixture. There is an urgent need for selective and accurate sensors, since hydrogen very often serves as a fuel or energy storage medium. Given the fact that even the smallest leak can lead to an explosion, it is very important for sensors to be reliable and safe, i.e. READ MORE

5. Polymer-Nanoparticle Hybrid Materials for Plasmonic Hydrogen Detection
Abstract : Plasmonic metal nanoparticles and polymer materials have independently undergone rapid development during the last two decades. More recently, it has been realized that combining these two systems in a hybrid or nanocomposite material comprised of plasmonically active metal nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix leads to systems that exhibit fascinating properties, and some first attempts had been made to exploit them for optical spectroscopy, solar cells or even pure art.
