Preparation and performance of a cost effective silver sulfide based bromide selective membrane is described. A solid contact between membrane and body of the electrode was examined as an ion-selective electrode by determining S 2and Br ions by direct potentiometry. A linear response to bromide ion from 2 x 10 -5 to 10 -1 M with a slope of 57.3 mV per decade [Br ] is observed. The membrane has ...

By using scanning tunnelling potentiometry we characterized the lateral variation of the electrochemical potential µec on the gold-induced Ge(001)-c(8 × 2)-Au surface reconstruction while a lateral current flows through the sample. On the reconstruction and across domain boundaries we find that µec shows a constant gradient as a function of the position between the contacts. In addition, nanosc...

This report presents an optimization of potentiometric measurements withcitrate-selective electropolymerized poly(neutral red) electrodes. The optimal backgroundelectrolyte for these measurements is a TRIS buffer with nitrate at pH 8.5. The electrodesdescribed here exhibit stable and reproducible near-Nernstian response to citrates with alow detection limit of 6 × 10-6 M. Electrodes polymerized...

Direct observation of electric potential and field variation near local scatterers like grain boundaries, triple points and voids in thin platinum films studied by scanning tunneling potentiometry is presented. The field is highest at a void, followed by a triple point and a grain boundary. The local field near a void can even be four orders of magnitude higher than the macroscopic field. This ...

An automated method based on the principles of flow-injection analysis is proposed for the enzymatic determination of sodium ion in serum. The method relies on the activation of beta-galactosidase by the analyte. The features of the proposed method include linear range between 1 and 1700 mumol/L, a sampling rate of 50 samples/h, a sample volume of 50 microL, and the absence of interferences fro...

in this work, a novel zr02+ pvc-based membrane sensor based on 4,7,13,16,21,24-hexa oxa-1,10- diazabicyclo[8,8,8]- hexa cosane (hodbhc) as a new ionophore is presented. the sensor displays a linear dynamic rangebetween 1.0x 10-1 and 1.0x10 6 m, with a near nernstian slope of 29.9 ± 0.4 mv per decade in an acidic solution(ph=1). the limit of detection is 8.0 x 1 0 7 m. the electrodes possess adv...

Combination of the exceptional properties of graphene oxide with the selectivity of lead porphyrin leads to fabricate a novel cysteine-selective sensor. The electrode made of 30% PVC, 53% NPOE, 2% NaTPB and 15% GO-PP was found to show the most favorable behavior. The sensor shows a Nernstian response (58.8 mV decade) in the concentration window of 5.0×10-5.0×10 M with detection limit of 8.0×10 ...

The application of direct-current differential electrolytic potentiometry to the nonaqueous titration of amino acids was investigated. The basic character of amino acids in acetic acid was enhanced to permit their direct titration with perchloric acid. A pair of antimony electrodes was used as an indicating system. The shapes of the titration curves obtained were almost symmetrical with sharp p...

The work described here comprises the determination of Fe(III) by ion selective potentiometry using a coated-wire ion-selective electrode (CWISE) based on iron–cyclam complex. Linear Nernstian response for this electrode was obtained over the total Fe(III) concentration range of 1× 10−2 to 1× 10−6 M in 0.05 M HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4, HCl, KNO3 and KCl media, with a slope of 60± 5 mV per decade chang...
