Electropolymerized polymer or copolymer films on a conducting substrate (e.g., graphene) and methods of making such films. The films may be part of multilayer structures. The films can be formed by anodic or cathodic electropolymerization of monomers. The films and structures (e.g., multilayer structures) can be used in devices such as, for example, electrochromic devices, electrical-energy storage devices, photo-voltaic devices, field-effect transistor devices, electrical devices, electronic devices, energy-generation devices, and microfluidic devices.

Electropolymerization onto flexible substrates for electronic applications

A system and method for the detection of one or more analytes in a collected sample employs capillary action in a sample card containing a sample substrate, at least one test capsule and an absorbent pad. The absorbent pad absorbs the contents of the test capsule and delivers the same to the sample substrate, with the contents of the test capsule chemically reacting with at least one detection reagent to establish an optical indicator for the analyte(s). The sample card can be automatically tested within a reader device, which records and processes an optical signal produced by the chemical reaction and outputs a test result. The collected sample can then be further analyzed using a second device. Additionally, an adhesive component can be provided so that a sample can be collected thereon. Furthermore, the at least one detection reagent can include a surfactant.

System and method for optical detection using capillary action

This disclosure describes methods, apparatuses, and systems to determine the presence of a chemical substance in an environment, by detecting one or more chemical substances in the environment by using at least one sensor that performs one or more electrochemical tests on one or more chemical samples in the environment, and generates one or more electrical signals corresponding to the chemical samples in the environment. The methods, apparatuses, and systems may also receive and process the one or more electrical signals corresponding to the one or more samples from the environment, wherein the methods, apparatuses, and systems compare the electrical signals to electrical signals corresponding to profiles of known chemical substances in the environment to determine if a match exists. The methods, apparatuses, and systems may compare the electrical signals to baseline threshold values of known chemical substances in the environment to determine if there is an excess or lack of the chemical substance. The methods, apparatuses, and systems may compare the electrical signals to both the stored profiles and baseline threshold values of known chemical substances in the environment to determine if known chemical substances are present in the environment. The methods, apparatuses, and systems may display an alert to confirm, deny, or require further testing to confirm or deny the presence of known chemical substances.

Identifying illicit drugs and their metabolites using a portable electroanalytical system

A redox flow battery comprising: a positive compartment containing a positive electrode in contact with a liquid electrolyte comprised of an organic redox active molecule dissolved in a solvent; a negative compartment containing a negative electrode in contact with a liquid electrolyte comprised of said organic redox active molecule dissolved in a solvent; electrical communication means for establishing electrical communication between said positive electrode, said negative electrode and an external load for directing electrical energy into or out of said symmetric redox flow battery; a separator component that separates the electrolyte solutions in the positive and negative compartments while permitting the passage of non-redox-active species between electrolyte solutions in positive and negative compartments; and means capable of establishing flow of the electrolyte solutions past said positive and negative electrodes, respectively. Methods of using the above-described redox flow battery for storing and releasing electrical energy are also described.
