Highlights Observation of strongly enhanced capacitance (quantum capacitance) when adsorbing 1-pyrene-methylamine to graphene foam. Proton activity specific sensor response in both aqueous buffer media and in human serum. Electrochemical impedance-based capacitance sensing with future opportunity to employ wireless capacitance readout. Abstract The interfacial capacitance of graphene foam electrodes (Gii-Sens) in contact to aqueous media (determined […]

Highlights An aptamer-based sensor was developed for the detection of ciprofloxacin, the active pharmaceutical ingredient of the antibiotic, with a cost-efficient, faster and better electrochemical test based on Gii. Low limits of detection were recorded down to 3nM, with a dynamic range of 10nM to 100nM. This development has shown great potential for use in […]

Q: What is your academic and professional background? I studied biomedical material science at the University of Manchester, where I applied the use of materials into medicine. For example, biosensors for disease diagnosis. I then completed a PhD in carbon nanomaterials and subsequently a post doctorate placement. Afterwards I joined a diabetes company and then […]
