Abstract: The master’s thesis is devoted to the development of a multi-parameter optical Oxygen sensor based on the NeoFox hardware and software platform. The thesis present the studies of the bFPC: PO-T2T exciplex-forming system as an active probing component of the optical sensor design. It demonstrates the possibility of high-precision measurement of oxygen concentration up to ± 4% in the range from 0% O2 to 20% O2. The bFPC:PO-T2T and bTfPC:PO-T2T exciplexes have been studied. It have shown good prospects for their use as highly efficient green TADF emitters of white OLED structures. Developed using the "wet" technology, white OLEDs showed high quality warm white electroluminescence with a color rendering index of 92, a color temperature of 3655 K and coordinates CIE1931 (0,384, 0,399). The electroluminescent properties of the OLED structure of dark blue radiation color based on intramolecular TADF donor-acceptor molecular 4-CzPyCl4 have been studied. This light-emitting heterostructure shows a maximum brightness of 3000 cd/m2. Based on these data, a compact sensor based on the NeoFox microcontroller was developed, which can be used to monitor the safe level of Oxygen in agricultural, industrial, transport and construction enterprises, as well as by private individuals. The development of the device is based on the use of optical sensors, which, in comparison with other types of sensors, are characterized by the following advantages: short response time and high selectivity, the possibility of conducting measurements in real time, which is a very important factor for controlling technological processes, the absence of electrical interference, accordingly, measurements can be to be carried out in strong electromagnetic fields, as well as cheapness and practicality in application [6]. The creation of this device is relevant, as it allows solving the complex problem of monitoring the atmosphere, control of technological environments and safety of industrial production using electronic devices.
