(Bio)electrochemical systems for environmental sensing

By MP4MNT

Environmental monitoring of pollutants in water is crucial for both the protection of water resources and human health. Through the development of innovative, on/off-shore sensors, it is possible to perform in-situ analyses of water such as drinking water, groundwater and seawater. Assessing water quality at an early stage helps to counter contamination and optimize its use and availability. MP4MNT researchers also specialize in the development of Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC)-based sensors, with a specific focus on nanostructured electrodes, which are crucial for the optimization of extracellular electron transfer (EET) and sensing processes. MFC-based biosensors enable fast-response detection and demonstrate sensitivity to various toxic agents.
