Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Chemical Sensing
  • Marine Biology

Background:

  • Tracking turbulent chemical plumes requires sensors with rapid response, long-term stability, and low-flow sensitivity.
  • Sensors must detect electrochemical markers compatible with marine animal diets, such as ascorbic acid.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the dynamic characteristics of an amperometric sensing system for plume tracking.
  • To evaluate the suitability of a platinum electrode coated with polyaniline for detecting ascorbic acid in marine environments.

Main Methods:

  • Studied the long-term dynamic behavior of ascorbic acid on various electrodes.
  • Characterized the performance of a polyaniline-coated platinum electrode in a virtual plume setup.
  • Analyzed the system's response to fluctuating ascorbic acid concentrations in saline solutions.
