Biosensor Based on Ceramic Carbon Electrodes
    Ceramic carbon electrodes (CCE) consist of electronically conductive carbon particles that are bound together by a ceramic binder formed through the sol-gel process. The addition of the silicate endows the resulting composite electrodes with robust mechanical properties. Recent studies have shown that CCEs are promising candidates for biosensory applications. The choice of
inorganic-organic hybrid material and carbon material can greatly influence the electrode properties. Our research investigates select silane and carbon precursors and study their effect on CCE properties (such as sensitivity, morphology, active area, etc.).
