a new al(iii) selective membrane based on 5-bromo(salicylidene-2-amino thiophenol) as a neutral carrier in a poly(vinyl chloride) (pvc) matrix is coated on platinum wire to determine trace amounts of al(iii) ion in various samples. the sensor exhibits a good response for al(iii) ion over a wide concentration range of 5.20 × 10-7 to 1.00 × 10-2 m  with nernstian slope of 19.64 ± 0.15 mv decade-1...

The possibility of using disposable plastic-carbon potentiometric sensors as enzyme biosensors was examined. Urease enzyme was immobilized on poly(vinyl chloride) based Hor NH4-selective membranes using cellulose acetate. This approach has resulted in a potentiometric response on changing the pH of the solution or NH4 ion content due to an enzymatic reaction that occurs between urease and urea....

Potentiometric sensors require the implementation of conducting wires for signal transduction, but this is impractical for the readout of individual nanoparticles. It is here demonstrated for the first time that the potentiometric response of ion-selective nanospheres can be observed with voltage-sensitive dyes, thereby converting nanoscale electrochemical signals into an optical readout. No re...

This paper gives an overview of the newest developments of polymeric membrane ion-selective electrodes. A short essence of the underlying theory is given, emphasizing how the electromotive force may be used to assess binding constants of the ionophore, and how the selectivity and detection limit are related to the underlying membrane processes. The recent developments in lowering the detection ...

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 ...
