The fabrication and operation of a new thick film type of limiting current oxygen sensor is demonstrated that utilizes yttria (8% mol) stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as oxygen ion conducting solid electrolytes and dense La0.8Sr0.2CoO3(LSC) as diffusion barrier. The oxygen sensor shows a near linear response between 0 to 10.5% O2in argon at 1023K. The advantages of the sensor are simple construction, low cost and potential long term stability.

A thick film type of limiting current oxygen sensor which uses yttria (8% mol) stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as oxygen ion conducting solid electrolytes and dense La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSM) as diffusion barrier was developed successfully. The oxygen sensor showed excellent performance at oxygen concentrations ranging from 0 to 10 ppm. The advantages of the sensor are simple construction, low cost and potential long term stability.

Silicon solar cell surface texture was effective to reduce reflectance and improve light collection. Alkaline etchants was a conventional process in monocrystalline silicon texturing.However, isopropyl alcohol(IPA) as buffer solution was expensive and high consumption, which increased the cost of solar cell. In the paper, It has been found that a cheaper surfactant as buffer solution decrease silicon surface interfacial force and increase etchant infiltrating of silicon wafer, so a large number of very small and uniform texture appeared on the silicon surface. pyramids size of about 3µm formed after etching of 15min. A new process to reduce the production cost and form the high quality pyramids texturization has been developed by this investigation.

<div>The present study deals with the fabrication of light-reflecting materials used in pixelated scintillator detectors. For the first time, the reflecting surfaces for pixels of different sizes (from 0.8 to 3.2 mm) were obtained via a low-cost DLP 3D printing technique. The material for the reflectors was the new composite of transparent ultraviolet light-cured resin and TiO<sub>2</sub> as a light-scattering filler. It was observed that TiO<sub>2</sub> showed better performance compare to other pigments such as BaSO<sub>4</sub>, hBN or cubic zirconia. The object formation rate was about 1 cm per hour with the possibility to produce several parts simultaneously that simplifies the wrapping procedure. It was found that the regular grooves pattern of the fabricated parts (staircase effect) could increase a light collection from a scintillator. The reflective properties of such surfaces were comparable to conventional reflection coating (e.g., Teflon wrapping).<br></div>Presented at the 2019 IEEE NSS & MIC conference, Manchester, UK. 14 pages, 12 figures, 1 table.

A microalgae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) biosensor chip for pesticide sensing has been developed by attaching the immobilized microalgae biofilm pon the microarray dye spots (size 100 μm and pitch 200 μm). The dye spots (ruthenium complex) were printed upon SO3-modified glass slides using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp and a microcontact printer (μCP). Emitted fluorescence intensity (FI) variance due to photosynthetic activity (O2 production) of microalgae was monitored by an inverted fluorescent microscope and inhibition of the oxygen generation rate was calculated based on the FI responses both before and after injection of pesticide sample. The calibration curves, as the inhibition of oxygen generation rate (%) due to photosynthetic activity inhibition by the pesticides, depicted that among the 6 tested pesticides, the biosensor showed good sensitivity for 4 pesticides (diuron, simetryn, simazine, and atrazine) but was insensitive for mefenacet and pendimethalin. The detection limits were 1 ppb for diuron and 10 ppb for simetryn, simazine, and atrazine. The simple and low-cost nature of sensing of the developed biosensor sensor chip has apparently created opportunities for regular water quality monitoring, where pesticides are an important concern.
