A sol-gel derived carbon composite electrodes (CCEs) were fabricated by mixing horseradish peroxidase (HRP), sol of tetraethoxysilane (TESO), and graphite powder. The HRP solution was added to the sol solution of TEOS, and then graphite powder was added to this mixture. The resulting carbon ceramic network effectively encapsulated HRP and shows a catalytic reduction starting at -0.2 V for $H_2O_2$. The optimum conditions for $H_2O_2$determination have been characterized with respect to the enzyme loading ratio and pH. The linear range and detection limit of $H_2O_2$ detection were from 0.2 mM to 2.2 mM and 0.035 mM, respectively. The common electroactive interferences such as ascorbic acid, acetaminophene, and uric acid were not affected upon the response to $H_2O_2$ at the HRP biosensor due to low detection potential.

The planar-type amperometric creatinine biosensor employing an additional enzyme layer containing creatine kinase and adenosine triphosphate was developed to eliminate severe interference from creatine. In the additional enzyme layer, an interfering substance, creatine is converted to noninterfering product, phosphocreatine. Furthermore, the carbon electrode electroplated with Pt black(Pt-B) was employed to fabricate creatinine biosensors with improved sensor performance(e.g., sensitivity, reliability, and reproducibility). The creatinine levels in an unknown sample were determined within less than 5% errors using creatinine microsensors equipped in a flow-cell cartridge.

이산화탄소는 인체에 무해하지만 인간의 신진대사와 깊은 관련이 있기 때문에 인간의 정신적 육체적 행동을 제어하는 분야에 많이 응용되고 있다. 따라서 지능형 빌딩이나 고급 공동주택 등의 실내공기를 제어하는 시스템에 적용되어 효율적으로 환기시스템을 운용하는데 사용되어져 왔다. 앞으로 이는 에너지절감과 연동되어 자동차나 가전제품 등 앞으로 점점 밀폐되어가는 구조에 사용이 늘어날 것으로 전망된다. 그러나 종래는 이산화탄소가 특정파장(4.2 um)의 적외선을 흡수하는 성질을 이용하여 Lambert law에 의해 이산화탄소의 양을 측정하였다. 따라서 가격이나 크기가 비교적 경제적이지 못한 측면이 많았다. 이와 반대로 전기화학적인 방식은 가격이나 크기의 측면에서 장점이 있었으나, 초기동작시간이나 안정성, 수명 등에서 상용화되기에는 아직 소비자가 이해하기 힘든면이 많았다. 이에 고체전해질을 이용하여 수명이나 초기시간 및 안정성을 획기적으로 개선하여 상용화가 가능하도록 만든 이산화탄소 센서를 소개하고자 한다. 이 센서는 전자회로와 결합되어 사용이 편리하도록 모듈화 하였고 이 모듈을 사용하여 "airwatch"라는 응용제품으로 판매되고 있다.

A disposable, electro-chemiluminescent immunosensor utilizing a screen-printed carbon electrode and liposome coupled to antibody as tracer has been constructed. In proportion to the analyte (Legionella species as a model) concentration, the analyte-immunoliposome complexes were transferred by the capillary action through a membrane strip to the electrode, the liposomes were lysed in the presence of detergent, and ruthenium was released for signal generation. Such performance of the immunosensor was appropriate for a point-of-care testing.

격자전극을 가진 질화탄소막을 이용하여 새로운 습도센서를 개발하였다. 결정성 질화탄소막의 감습 특성을 조사하고, 광범위한 상대습도($10%\sim90%$)에 대해 민감한 임피던스와 커패시턴스 의존도를 보였다. 특히 격자전극은 습기의 자유로운 흡 탈착을 용이 하게 하여 센서의 히스테리시스를 줄였다. 또한, 질화탄소막은 물리, 화학적으로 안정한 물질이므로 고온, 고습 및 화학적으로 열악한 환경 속에서도 뛰어난 특성 을 나타내었다.

Polyoxometalates (POMs) have outstanding properties and a great deal of potential for electrochemical applications. As POMs are highly soluble, the implementation of POMs in various functional materials is required to fully use their potential in electrochemical devices. Here, we will review the recently developed immobilization methods to incorporate POMs into conductive nanomaterials, such as nanocarbons and conducting polymers. Various immobilization strategies involve POMs entrapped in conducting polymer matrix and integration of POMs into nanocarbons using a Langmuir-Blodgett technique, a layer-by-layer self-assembly, and an electrochemical in-situ polymerization. In addition, we will review a variety of electrochemical applications including electrocatalysts for water oxidation, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and electrochemical biosensors.

This paper proposes a novel fabrication method for a capacitive type micro-accelerometer with uniform nano-gap using photo-assisted electro-chemical etching. The sensitivity of the accelerometer should be improved while the electrodes between the inertial mass and the sensing comb should be narrowed. In this paper the nano-gap trench structure is fabricated using the photo-assisted electrochemical etching method. The sensor was designed and analysed using ANSYS simulator. The characteristics of the etching were observed according to the dc bias, the light intensity, the composition of the solution, the temperature of the solution, and the pattern pitch variation. The optimum etching conditions were dc bias of 2V, Blue LED of 20mA, 49wt% HF:DMF:D.I.Water=1:20:10, the pattern pitch of $20{\mu}m$. Uniform trench structure with width of 344nm and depth of $11.627{\mu}m$ are formed using the optimum condition.

We have addressed two important issues of immunosensing biochips, including the construction of antibody functionalized suface for efficient affinity reactions and the development of a signal registration strategy that converts biospecific reactions into highly quantifiable electrochemical and/or optical signals. The developed immunoassay reaction is an integrated version of enzyme-mediated immunoprecipitaion reaction, which is widely used in immunohistochemistry, and electrochemical signaling reaction. For the evaluation of analytical performance of fabricated immunosensing biochips, signaling for mouse IgG in antiserum was conducted. Applications of the developed strategy have been found for the evaluation of histology chemicals and for the signal amplification for array-type biochip analysis.
