a pvc membrane cr(iii) ion selective electrode has been constructed using 2h-1,4-benzothioazine-2,3(4h)dione dioxime (btd) as membrane carrier. the influence of membrane composition on the electroderesponse was studied. the electrode exhibits a nernstian response over a cr(iii) concentration range of 1.0 x10 6 to 1.0>< 10-1 m (r = 0.99) with a slope of 19.5 ± 0.5 mv per decade of concentration,...

Potentiometric chloride sensors were fabricated by electrochemically chloridizing the surface of screen printed silver electrodes using amperostatic coulometry or asymmetric square wave voltammetry. In the case of coulometric chloridization, the effect of different chloride ion sources was also investigated. The response to chloride ions by each type of sensor was determined by measuring their ...

In this paper, a new PVC-based liquid-membrane anion-selective electrode based on a copper(II) of N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-bis(p-aminophenoxy)ethane tetradentate complex (Cu(II)BBAP) is described, which displays a preferential potentiometric response to iodide ion at pH 2.0 and an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence: I->SCN->ClO4->NO2->H2PO4->NO3->SO4(2-)>Br->Cl-. The electrode exhibits a ne...

The performance of octahydroxycalix[4]arene derivative used as a neutral carrier for silver polymeric membrane electrode was studied. The sensor gave a good Nernstian response of 58 +/- 1 mV per decade for silver ion in the activity range 3.3 x 10(-6) to 3.3 x 10(-2) M Ag+. The limit of detection reached 2.1 x 10(-6) M Ag+ and exhibited high selectivity for silver ion against the alkali, alkali...

A new simple efficient calcium ion selective electrode has been prepared using simple ester. A heterogeneous precipitate has been used as ion carriers for the preparation of Ca (II) selective membrane sensor. The sensor exhibits a near Nernstian response for Ca(II) ion over a concentration range of 1.0 x 10 -4 M to 1.0x10 -1 M. The proposed sensors revealed relatively good selectively and high ...

The half-cell potential of the Activated carbon (AC), due to its high double layer capacitance (EDL), remains stable in high ionic electrolyte. The open circuit potential (OCV) of the AC, with EDL of 40 – 50 F, shows a stable potential (10 mV variation) over two weeks in the cement pore solution (sat. Ca(OH)2). The OCV is less sensitive to the pH change from pH 8 to 12 (range inside concrete). ...

A thiocyanate poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrode based on [1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]dihalopalladium(II), [(dppe)PdX2, X = Cl (L), X = I (L)] as active sensor has been developed. The diiodopalladium complex, [(dppe)PdI2](L) displays an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence: SCN‒ > I‒ > ClO4‒ > Sal‒ > Br‒ > NO2‒ > HPO4‒ > AcO‒ > NO3‒ > H2PO4‒ > CO32‒. The electrode exhibits a Ne...

A new PVC membrane ion selective electrode which is highly selective towards Ni(II) ions was constructed using a Schiff base containing a binaphthyl moiety as the ionophore. The sensor exhibited a good Nernstian response for nickel ions over the concentration range 1.0x10(-1)-5.0x10(-6) M with a lower limit of detection of 1.3x10(-6) M. It has a fast response time and can be used for a period o...
