Project: REAL - Resource-efficient electrochemical analysis

The analysis platform should enable the following:

• easy manageability and reliable setup of the targeted solution for electrochemical material characterization 
• a time efficient, material specific and cost effective analysis platform
• the use of thin, electrochemically deposited and patterned metal layers of less nanometer thickness instead of the current solid metal electrodes made of platinum or gold

Project goals:

• Development of an analysis chip platform with defined electrode areas and different electrode materials.
• Development of a wafer-level scalable, selective electrochemical metallization of different functional elements
• Integration into an electrochemical reference system
• Demonstration of functionality on known organic semiconductors and development of measurement procedures
• Comparison with reference systems and data
• Testing the range of application (type of solvent, multiple electron transfer processes)
• Integration into UV/Vis cuvettes for spectro-electrochemical studies and creation of inert measurement conditions
• Application to novel systems for synthesis and characterization
