In SituAmmonium Profiling Using Solid-Contact Ion-Selective Electrodes in Eutrophic Lakes

Pre-Polarized Hydrophobic Conducting Polymer Solid-Contact Ion-Selective Electrodes with Improved Potential Reproducibility.

Electrically conducting polymers (ECPs) are one of the most popular types of materials to interface ion-selective membranes (ISMs) with electron-conducting substrates to construct solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SCISEs). For optimal ion-to-electron transduction and potential stability, the p-doped ECPs with low oxidation potentials such as PPy need to be generally in their conducting fo...

Novel Solid-Contact Ion-Selective Microelectrodes for Localized Potentiometric Measurements

The design and properties of novel type of solid-contact ionophore-based ion-selective microelectrodes are reported. The microelectrode is based on an insulated needle-shaped metallic wire with an exposed apex. The ion-to-electron transducer is made of poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl) and placed between an ion-selective membrane and the metallic tip. The ion-selective polyvinyl chloride-based me...

Solid-Contact Reference Electrode for Ion-Selective Sensors

This work presents a flexible miniaturized ion-selective sensor consisting of a solidcontact reference electrode (RE) and ion-selective electrodes (ISE) fabricated on the same foil. The flexible ion sensor was based on AgCl electrodes screen printed on polyethylene terephthalate foil. The RE was formed by casting a mixture of plasticized polyvinylchloride (PVC) and KCl on the AgCl electrode. Th...

Ion selective electrodes in environmental analysis

An overview is given dealing with the application of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) in environmental analysis. ISEs are placed into the context of the trend of development of sensors for extensive and frequent monitoring. Discussed are the issues such as sensing platforms and their mass-production, improvement of precision, diagnostic of sensor functionality, and development of reference elect...
