Abstract
Fundamental electrochemical investigations in combination whatever with materials, environment, life science, and other disciplines, only those 3 possible & practical applications for the human being are available at the moment, such as new methods, devices and instruments. As known, electrochemistry technique is an important member in the whole family of the instrumental analysis. Especially, in coupling with other techniques, we can know much information about the interfacial interaction, structural features, reaction process, mass transfer, etc. during electrochemical running. Unfortunately, imported instruments & equipment occupies the leading position in China within the past decades, electrochemistry system is also still the world of imported products in China, such as Princeton, CHI, BAS, Gamry, Biologic, etc. Besides those electrochemical instruments, some typical and daily-used electrochemical sensors, such as blood glucose analysis, industrial control gas sensors, heavy metal ion monitoring, blood gas analysis, met the same problem in China. With the great increase of human industrial production, water quality analysis is becoming more and more necessary. A few typical electrochemical devices and methods for water monitoring, such as DO, COD, heavy metals, etc. have been developed successfully. In addition, various methods and sensors for bioanalysis & food analysis have been explored too. Furthermore, a series of electrochemical instruments has been completed, which ranged from basic models to advanced, from potentiostat to bipotentiostat, even to multichannel, from integrated spectrometers to electrochemical imaging & etching, etc. Those developed instruments have been widely used in many institutes & universities in China.
