(HQ) ELECTROCHEMISTRY

The research topics of the Department of Analytical Chemistry are focused on the issues of chemistry and intermolecular interactions occurring in solution and at the solid-liquid phase boundary.

The aim of the scientific group is the development of multifunctional potentiometric sensors in solid state with membranes with the addition of nano particles. A secondary objective is to develop simple potentiometric sensors for the determination of chemical species of interest that would have improved properties. Improved sensor performance will be based on simpler preparation of samples for analysis (does not matter discoloration and turbidity of the sample), improved chemical, physical and electrical properties.

The ‘Laboratoire de Chimie, Electrochimie Moléculaires et Chimie Analytique, UMR CNRS 6521 – UBO, CEMCA’ (‘Molecular Chemistry, Electrochemistry and Analytical Chemistry’ Laboratory) is a joint, CNRS and University of Brest, research laboratory. It is located in Brest at the Faculty of Science and Technology. This laboratory was created in the early eighties (1981) by the fusion into a single research unit of four teams having expertises in organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry. That is the sole research laboratory in chemistry of the University of Brest.
