Optical pH value sensor
The novel pH value sensor works according to an optical electrochemical principle and comprises a photoluminescent or fluorescent layer, a light source and a detector. The layer comprises an electric potential and acts as a working electrode which is implemented as a nanostructure (nanowires with quantum dots). Furthermore, spatial resolution can be achieved by using numerous nanowires contacted individually on a carrier and a visual array detector (analogous to CCD sensors in digital cameras).
Other reactions or concentrations of substances can also be detected.
