《电化学分析传感》专辑序言

《电化学分析传感》专辑序言 电化学分析传感是一种基于界面电荷相互作用的测量方法,具有高灵敏、响应快、无标记等本征优势. 该方法的核心思路是将待测对象构建成为化学电池的某一部分,通过测量界面电子转移或电荷重排过程中产生的电信号响应,如电池电位、电流、电导、电量变化,对待测目标进行定性定量动态地检测、监测或表征. 　　近年来,伴随着测量仪器性能和数据处理方法的持续提高与优化,电化学分析传感研究前沿热点越来越多地关注到纳米尺度界面上的瞬态电荷相互作用、动态电荷传输机制,特别是发展限域空间内的单体纳米电化学信号放大、传输、记录、解析新模式和新策略. 其中,单体电化学分析,如单颗粒碰撞法等,不仅可以得到常规宏观测量的单一平均结果,同时还能描绘出所有不同颗粒结构与性能的完整分布,揭示少量但关键的电化学活性位点和反应机理;而纳米限域电化学分析,如纳米孔道协同测量等,则能通过限域效应有效延长亚稳态中间体的结构寿命,灵敏识别不同待测单体间的细微理化性质差异及其动态变化过程. 此外,电分析方法也更多地与谱学、成像等技术联用,对界面电化学过程进行原位、实时、在线表征,以期揭示纳米界面的电荷传递和能量转化的化学本质. 进而指导设计构建高灵敏电化学传感器,实现在疾病的早期检测、能源转换的高效率用、水体环境污染的有效治理等国家战略性产业中的广泛应用. 　　本专辑围绕电化学分析传感新方法与新技术,收录了在相关研究领域具有丰富经验积累和影响力的团队所撰写的21篇相关研究进展的综述文章和研究论文（分成两期出版,分别包含10篇和11篇）. 希望借助此专辑的出版,能使广大读者更好地了解当前电化学测量领域的研究现状、研究趋势和存在的问题及挑战,推动我国下一代电化学精准分析技术和高效传感应用的进一步发展. 　　最后,对本专辑的所有作者、审稿人及编辑部工作人员的辛勤工作和付出表示由衷的感谢！     

Exploring Green Chemistry,Sustainable Chemistry and innovative business models such as Chemical Leasing in the context of international policy discussions

This article provides an overview on Green Chemistry and Sustainable Chemistry in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and different policy frameworks such as the EU Circular Economy Action Plan and SAICM, the Strategic Approach of International Chemicals Management. There is an increasing body of evidence suggesting the practicality and applicability of Green Chemistry and Sustainable Chemistry within industrial development policies and international agreements addressing chemicals and waste concerns. To explore the full potential of Green Chemistry and Sustainable Chemistry, the authors come to the conclusion that innovative business models are required to facilitate the engagement of the different players, including industry. While presenting the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)’s experiences and lessons learnt from ten years of work in UNIDO's Global Chemical Leasing Programme, the article also highlights the role that innovative and circular economy business models could play in achieving inclusive and sustainable economic growth. It therefore explores the potential of integrated Chemical Leasing, Green Chemistry and Sustainable Chemistry initiatives at the global level.     

A schematic overview of the historical evolution of Analytical Chemistry

The historical evolution of Analytical Chemistry is briefly discussed as related to the progress of Chemistry within the 16–19th centuries under the leadership of Paracelsus, Boyle, Lavoisier and Dalton. A clear distinction is made between chemical analysis (up to the end of the 19th c.) and today’s Analytical Chemistry, paying close attention to a number of aspects and consequences related to the chemical revolution which took place at the overlap of the 18–19th c. which resulted in the quantification of Chemistry, causing increasing development and improvement of the chemical metrology which was an essential factor for Chemistry to acquire a scientific dimension and to become more specialised during the 19th century. A panoramic view of the whole development is presented by resorting to the inclusion of a number of synoptical tables outlining the stepwise progress of Chemistry, chemical analysis and Analytical Chemistry within the five last centuries taking into consideration the main protagonists involved as well as the experimental means, techniques and methodologies used and/or developed.

Teaching of Analytical Chemistry in Polish Universities

The importance of Analytical Chemistry in the modern world is continually increasing. There are a lot of reasons: the need for environmental monitoring, food quality control, human health, industrial production quality control, nanotechnologies, material science; these are only some of the areas where analysts are indispensable. Analytical Chemistry, or rather Chemical Analytics, should be treated on a par with the three fundamental chemical courses: Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. Analytical Chemistry, as an individual course or courses, is lectured in 52 Polish universities, including the Academy of Medicine and Academy of Life Sciences (agriculture and related). All these universities were already introduced in the Bolonia Process, The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) points, and three steps of education: Bachelor's degree (at universities of technology–Engineer's degree), Master's degree, and Doctoral Studies. Analytical Chemistry exists on all levels of teaching. On the first level, Bachelor's degree, the program of Analytical Chemistry contains the basic knowledge, so called classical Analytical Chemistry: gravimetric analysis, electrogravimetry, acid-base titration, oxidation-reduction titration, precipitation titration, complexometric titration, quality assurance, and quality control of results (2–3 h of lecture, 5 h of laboratory, and 1 h of seminar). During the second level (Master's degree) the program contains more developed analytical techniques: gas and liquid chromatography, spectrophotometric methods, electrochemical methods, elemental analysis, etc. The lecture courses at universities depend on the specific specialization, and there are a variety of different courses according to the need of specialization programs. The Bachelor's (engineer's) projects (diploma theses) are very often prepared in the field of Analytical Chemistry. The same occurs with Doctoral Studies; very often, students choose subject matters connected with Analytical Chemistry. This is why each year we have about 100 doctoral candidates in the field of Analytical Chemistry. The laboratories of Polish universities are well equipped with specialized apparatuses, but are strongly dependent on the university's profile and the size of the university. Students can participate in the scientific research carried on by the didactic staff, especially when completing diploma theses or doctorates. Some of them are performing studies and theses abroad, in the frame of the LLP ERASMUS Program. From our department, each year, about 10–12 students complete their Analytical Chemistry theses abroad. It promotes the European dimension and improves the quality of education by encouraging innovation in education.     

Analytical Chemistry,Past, Present and Future*This paper is dedicated to the Editorial Board of Analytical Letters.

ABSTRACT

Analytical Chemistry as a science has its own history as well as an important present and a sure future.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the role of Analytical Chemistry as a science and of Chemical Analysis as an art in the development of human society.

The correlation between method and instrument hyphenated by the sample is discussed along a long period of active Analytical Chemistry.

The connection between theory of Analytical Chemistry and the practice of chemical analysis enables us to be sure of the future of Analytical Chemistry.

We must consider that to do science it is necessary to know the history of science as well as to make research to be used not only in the present, but also in the near future.

Surely, Analytical Chemistry as a real scientific area will be on the top of sciences in the next century.

With the mind mapping in "College Chemistry", students' mastery of knowledge has been significantly improved, the learning initiative has been enhanced, and the learning efficiency, in particular, students' ability to summarize has been improved.     

Analytical Chemistry — today''s definition and interpretation

Conclusion Since every science is defined as a way of knowledge accumulation and theory formulation, the magnificent cognitive power of Analytical Chemistry cannot be disregarded by any natural scientist. Therefore the state of the art in the field of Analytical Chemistry has a strong impact on other scientific disciplines. Without the cognitive feedback of analysis, no synthesis, no high-tech process, or pollution control actions are possible. Since the whole perception of the properties and laws of the material world are so strongly dependent on the level of performance of Analytical Chemistry it has become a self-reliant, chemical subdiscipline. Analytical Chemistry also includes a tremendous economic side, directly through the market for analytical instruments and, above all, indirectly through decisions taken in industry and the society as a whole based on analytical results. Because nearly a third of all chemists work in the field of Analytical Chemistry, it should be taught at a sufficient level at every University which has a Chemistry Department, in order to ensure the continued knowledge base which this subdiscipline uniquely provides.
