IMCS - 18TH INTERNATIONAL MEETING ON CHEMICAL SENSORS (IMCS 2020)

IMCS 01 - Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Chemometrics, and Sensor Arrays

While chemometric analysis and data algorithm development have been important in chemical sensor system research and development for decades, the exponential increase in mobile computing capabilities and networking over the past years have made them even more critical. There is widespread assumption that heterogeneous arrays of sensors (i.e. machine olfaction) and distributed sensor networks convey significant benefits for chemical detection, but often these benefits are poorly understood or utilized without extensive and costly empirical evaluation. The intent of this special session is to highlight research describing how computational inference can not only be used to interpret sensor data more effectively, but also to inform design of sensor systems and materials as well as to provide an improved understanding of sensor capability. Papers are solicited from the following fields of (a) Artificial neural networks and deep learning, (b) Bayesian inference, (c) analysis in low computing power conditions, (d) integration of sensor devices with machine learning hardware, (e) computational approaches to sensor array design and optimization.
The deadline of Monday, 2 December 2019 has been reached. New submissions closed.

IMCS 02 - Chemical and Biosensors, Medical/Health, and Wearables

IMCS 04 - Sensors for Agricultural and Environmental Applications

Economic losses to agricultural industry due to pest and pathogen infections are estimated at $40 billion annually. Early detection of pest or pathogen infection in agricultural crops through reliable detection of disease symptoms could help to improve crop management practices such as selective and timely application of chemicals, thereby reducing the cost of spraying in the crop field which in turn leads to improved food quality and reduced environmental footprint of pesticides and fungicides. There is a pressing need to develop rapid, highly selective and sensitive detection technologies for early identification of plant pathogen infections. While a variety of molecular methods are currently being used for this purpose, an inexpensive, highly selective, rapid method for the detection of pathogens is highly desired. Electrochemistry biosensors combined with drone and microfluidic technologies offer unique advantages for this application. Electrochemical sensors have been widely explored for medical and environmental applications, but agricultural applications have been explored to a much less extent. A symposium focusing on the electrochemical sensors for agricultural, environmental and food applications would serve as a platform for electrochemists, crop scientists, food scientists and micro/molecular biologists to come together and address major challenges in these areas.

IMCS 09 - Optical Sensors, Plasmonics, Chemiluminescent, and Electrochemiluminescent Sensors

Optical sensors based upon adsorption, emission or interferometric principles and quantum dot based detection principles are being developed to enable sensitive and multiplexed detection of a range of analytes in gas phase and for biomedical assays. Plasmonic sensing devices provide significant enhancement in sensitivity and selective ligand binding for discrimination of target analytes. Chemiluminescence (CL) is light emitting phenomenon resulting from chemical reaction, and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is CL resulting from electrochemical reaction. In contrast to fluorescence, both CL and ECL do not use external light sources. Moreover, the sensitivity of ECL method is not affected by non-faradaic currents. These enable highly sensitive CL and ECL detection (e.g. in vitro diagnosis (IVD), multiplex imaging analysis, drug screening, forensic testing) with cost-effective instruments with very broad applications. This session covers luminophors (e.g. nanocluster, quantum dot), coreactants, catalysts, chemically modified electrodes, quenchers, bipolar ECL, wireless ECL and their applications in high throughput analysis, imaging analysis using CCD or smart phone, and other sensor areas.

IMCS 10 - Sensors for Breath Analysis, Biomimetic Taste, and Olfaction Sensing

Several research groups have begun to explore the use of chemical and biosensors for breath/skin analysis to aid in medical treatments or diagnostic. One of the key advantages of breath/skin analysis is that it is not invasive and provides minimal stress for the patient, while having the potential to provide a rapid diagnostic status of health for the individual. It has also been applied to animal veterinary health in farming. The sense of taste and olfaction has development in nature to provide some of the most sensitive and selective transduction mechanisms, yet chemical sensors and biosensors lack specificity and selectivity. This topic is to further explore the nature of chemical and biosensing and what approaches have been developed modelled on the biological transduction principles.

IMCS 11 - Chemical and Biosensing Materials and Sensing Interface Design

The fields of chemical sensors have grown tremendously from improvements made to the transducer and readout components as well as in sensing materials and interface design to meet the growing standards for accuracy, cost, portability, and accessibility. Improvements in the affinity, specificity, and stability of chemical and biosensing components, as well as reductions of the cost for their mass production, are often regarded as roadblocks to chemical and biosensor technology in both technical and commercial senses. While the transducer and readout components can often be interchangeable for a specific target analytes, the chemical and biosensing component must be specifically tailored to the interface for their uses for detections. This call for papers aims to highlight recent developments in sensing materials and sensing interface design for chemical and biosensors. The sensing materials include (1) inorganic materials such as graphene, metal nanoparticles, nanostructure-decorated semiconductor, (2) organic materials such as macrocyclic compounds, conducting polymers, molecular imprinted polymers, and cavitand molecules, (3) biological materials such as antibodies, recombinant antibodies and peptides, protein receptors, DNA, RNA, aptamers, carbohydrates.

E - ELECTROCHEMICAL/ELECTROLESS DEPOSITION

E01 - Surfactant and Additive Effects on Thin Film Deposition, Dissolution, and Particle Growth 2

The influence of surfactants and additives on the morphology and structure of materials produced by either physical or chemical means is of central importance to several evolving technologies ranging from electroplating thin functional films to battery reactions to nanoparticle synthesis. This symposium seeks to bring together researchers interested in exploring the synergies between adsorbate effects during deposition and dissolution by electrolytic, chemical reduction, CVD, ALD, or PVD methods. In the last decade significant capabilities for investigating the potential dependent structure and dynamics of adsorbates on single crystal surface have been established. Likewise, the impact of adsorbed anions, cations, upd metal species, and/or molecules on the production of metal and semiconductor films and particles has been widely reported. Taking advantage of this diverse background we will explore several questions of common interest such as: (1) What is the nature of the relationship between adsorbate structure and the evolution of particle shape or facet geometry during deposition and dissolution? (2) What is the extent of rate differentiation accessible by using different surfactants? (3) How much anisotropy can be induced in electrocrystallization reactions by using different adsorbates? (4) How do changes in potential and related perturbations affect adsorbate structure and thereby film and particle growth dynamics? (5) How is particle growth influenced by the choice of reducing agent and surfactant(s), and how does this compare to electrolytic growth at comparable potentials? (6) How does the rate of deposition and stripping affect the morphology of thin films (7) How is roughness evolution influenced by surfactants? (8) How effectively do surfactants remain segregated at growing interfaces? (9) Why do some surfactants or additives lead to the breakdown of epitaxial growth and how are they incorporated in the growing solid? (10) How do surfactants influence the deposition of alloys and compounds? (11) How can surfactants be used to influence the growth of deposits with graded multiscale porosity? (12) Can dendritic growth be tamed by additives? New approaches for measurements and modeling related to the study of surfactant and additive effects are also of interest.

I - FUEL CELLS, ELECTROLYZERS, AND ENERGY CONVERSION

I01 - Ionic and Mixed Conducting Ceramics 13

Sustainable economic growth and high quality of life require an abundant supply of clean and affordable energy. Future energy sources include solar, wind, and nuclear energy - all of which can produce electricity as the primary form of energy. The conversion of this electrical energy to fuels (e.g. hydrocarbon or hydrogen) using common chemicals such as carbon dioxide and water though electrochemical processes (e.g. electrolysis reactions), provides an opportunity to remove the temporal variation in the energy supply from solar and wind energy. Electrolysis reactions may involve protons, hydroxide, oxide or other ions. This “Electrosynthesis of Fuels 6” symposium will provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments on electrolysis and related topics. The emphasis of this symposium is on recent advances relevant to the conversion and utilization of CO2 and/or H2O for synthesis of fuels and other chemicals. The application of the same cells as fuel cells is of special interest, because reversible cells that may be couple with renewable or nuclear electric power production in order to increase efficiency through energy storage are of particular importance. Papers are solicited on the topics as follows: 1. Electrolysis cells including electrolytes, electrodes, seals, and interconnects for the conversion of CO2 and H2O to fuels. 2. Solid oxide fuel cells and protonic ceramic fuel cells 3. Electrocatalytic phenomena in oxygen electrodes and fuel electrodes. 4. Electrosynthesis of ammonia. 5. Electrochemical and chemical technologies for CO2 separation. 6. Novel materials or concepts for CO2 conversion and capture. In addition to covering these exciting topics on electricity to fuels, this symposia will honor our esteemed colleague Mogens Mogensen who was one of the early organizers of this symposium and who has pioneered many developments in the science of high-temperature solid-oxide electrochemistry and has been a leader in developing solid oxide electrolysis cells for H. and fuel synthetic fuel production. Speakers who have benefited from Mogens leadership in the field and collaborations are invited to participate in a full-day of sessions in honor of him and his tremendous contributions to the field.
