Manipulating Porous Matter
Acid Alert is an innovative valorization project at the Ameloot group, centered around a groundbreaking detection concept. This concept enables the fabrication of robust sensors at a low cost while maintaining high sensitivity, capable of detecting volatile acids down to single-digit ppm levels. The technology harnesses the interactions between volatile acids and a unique porous material that collapses upon acid exposure, ensuring cost-effective and precise detection.
With valuable input from industry partners and collaborators, we are refining our technology to meet their specific operational conditions. Our focus is on advancing material chemistry and developing a handheld device for practical applications.
