Research abstract
Polestar Technologies Inc. proposes a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research project to develop a deployable sensor for direct measurements of carbonate in saline waters. The designed sensor combines selectivity of carbonate ionophore with the unique structure of a carbon nanotube array. Detection will be based on rapid, inexpensive, low power and precise electrochemical methods. The proposed sensor will be deployable for autonomous monitoring of carbonate ions in the ocean. Phase I project will focus on feasibility of proof-of-concept for sensitive, fast and selective detection of carbonate ions with a sensitivity of 5 μM in saline waters.
