Article Abstract
A simple and cost-effective approach is proposed for silicate ion determination. The approach is based on designing an all-solid-state potentiometric sensor. The plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane sensor is based on the ion-association complex [Ni(bphen)][SiO] as a sensory recognition material. The sensor is modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an ion-to-electron transducer material. The performance characteristics of the new silicate-selective electrode were evaluated using a potentiometric water-layer test, potentiometric measurements, impedance spectroscopy, and current-reversal chronopotentiometry. The developed electrodes exhibited a low detection limit (0.11 μg mL) over a wide linear range (4.0 × 10 to 1.0 × 10 M) and near-Nernstian sensitivity (slope = -28.1 ± 1.4 mV per decade). They presented a very short response time (<5 s) over the pH range 6-12 and provided acceptable reliability, ease of design and miniaturization, and high potential stability, in addition to good accuracy and precision. The sensors exhibited enhanced selectivity for silicate over many common interfering anions, such as SO, NO, CHCOO, CO, Cl, S, and PO. These results could qualify the developed sensor to be used in a successful way for the trace determination of silicate ions in different matrices. The developed method was successfully applied to the potentiometric detection of silicate in different pre-packaged bottled drinking water samples.

A robust, all-solid-state potentiometric sensor was developed for the selective detection of dissolved ammonia (NH) in aqueous and gas-equilibrated environments. The sensor design is based on a coupled configuration of a nonactin-based ammonium-selective electrode (NH-ISE) and a hydrogen ion-selective electrode (H-ISE), enabling direct measurement of NH activity through the equilibrium: NH ⇌ NH + H. The resulting electrochemical cell exhibited a near-Nernstian response over a wide dynamic range, with a detection limit below 10 ppm and a response time under 6 seconds.

A major obstacle in the development of solid contact ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs) is the frequent calibration procedures due to the low reproducibility of standard potential(E) and the unstable signals. To address these challenges, we developed an all-solid state miniature sodium ion-selective electrode (Na-ISE) based on acid-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulphonate (PEDOT: PSS) as the solid contact layer, in combination with an external polarization technique. Acid doping minimized the Coulomb interaction between PEDOT and PSS, inducing significant phase separation and conformational re-aggregation of PEDOT chains, thus creating more contact points to facilitate charge transport and ion-to-electron transduction.

Calcium ion sensors are essential in clinical diagnosis, particularly in the management of chronic kidney disease. Multiple approaches have been developed to measure calcium ions, including flame photometry and ion chromatography. However, these devices are bulky and require specialized staff for operation and evaluation.

The monitoring of nitrate ions is of great significance for human health, agricultural development, and environmental protection. All-solid-state nitrate ion-selective electrodes (ASS-NO-ISEs), as an important NO analysis method, still have two challenges of poor stability and reproducibility due to the ill-defined phase boundary between the solid-contact (SC) layer and the ion-selective membrane (ISM). In this work, a novel strategy for constructing the ASS-NO-ISEs based on CoWO, CoWS, CoWSe, or CoSe as SC layers was reported for improving the stability and reproducibility.

The state-of-the-art solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs) for NH primarily utilize organic carrier-based ion-selective membranes (ISM). However, they face challenges such as the water-layer effect at the SC/ISM interface and the weak mechanical strength of the ISM. In this work, we present an ISM-free, high-pressure potentiometric NH sensor based on a bifunctional transducer, specifically a framework of copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF).
