Novel surface acoustic wave-interdigitated array electrode gas sensor for dissolved ammonia

A novel surface acoustic wave-interdigitated array electrode (SAW-IDA) ammonia gas sensor is proposed. A gas-permeable membrane is employed to separate the buffer solution in the inner cell of the gas-sensing probe from the sample solution in the detection cell. The response of the IDA conductive electrodes is based on the impedance change of the buffer solution during ammonia adsorption. Therefore, this gas sensor overcomes the influence of water vapour in the conventional film-coated SAW gas sensor and can be used for the detection of gases in aqueous solutions. The ammonia sensor exhibits a favourable frequency response to 5 × 10⁻⁷−1 × 10⁻³ mol/1 ammonia. The optimal buffer composition and probe parameters have been determined. Dynamic range, response time, selectivity, and temperature drift are discussed. The ammonia sensor was also applied to the determination of serum ammonia. Results were in good agreement with those from the conventional enzymatic-spectro-photometric method.     

Insulin Surface Acoustic Wave Immunosensor Based on Immobilized C60/Anti‐Insulin Antibody

Immobilized fullerene C₆₀/anti‐insulin antibody was prepared and applied in shear horizontal surface acoustic wave (SH‐SAW) immunosensors to detect insulin in aqueous solutions. The immobilizations of anti‐insulin onto fullerene were studied through a C₆₀/PVC coated SH‐SAW sensor system in liquid. The partially irreversible frequency response for an anti‐insulin antibody was observed by the desorption study, which implied that fullerene could chemically react with anti‐insulin. C₆₀/anti‐insulin coating materials were successfully prepared and identified with an FTIR spectrometer. The C₆₀/anti‐insulin coated SH‐SAW immunosensors were developed and applied for detection of insulin in aqueous solutions. Within the range of normal human insulin concentration, the SH‐SAW immunosensors immobilized with C₆₀/anti‐insulin exhibited linear frequency responses to the concentration of insulin with a sensitivity of 130 Hz/pM. The SH‐SAW immunosensor immobilized with C₆₀/anti‐insulin showed a detection limit of 0.58 pM for insulin in aqueous solution. The interference of various common bio‐species in human blood, e.g. urea, ascorbic acid, tyrosine, and metal ions, to the SH‐SAW immunosensor immobilized with C₆₀/anti‐insulin for insulin was investigated. These common bio‐species interferences showed nearly no interference to the SAW immunosensors coated with C₆₀/anti‐insulin. The reproducibility of the SH‐SAW immunosensor immobilized with C₆₀/anti‐insulin for insulin was also investigated and is discussed.

Highly sensitive and ultrafast response surface acoustic wave humidity sensor based on electrospun polyaniline/poly(vinyl butyral) nanofibers

Polyaniline (PANi) composite nanofibers were deposited on surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator with a central frequency of 433 MHz to construct humidity sensors. Electrospun nanofibers of poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), poly(ethylene oxide), poly(vinylidene fluoride), poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, and humidity response of corresponding SAW humidity sensors were investigated. The results indicated that PVB was suitable as a matrix to form nanofibers with PANi by electrospinning (ES). Electrospun PANi/PVB nanofibers exhibited a core–sheath structure as revealed by transmittance electron microscopy. Effects of ES collection time on humidity response of SAW sensor based on PANi/PVB nanofibers were examined at room temperature. The composite nanofiber sensor exhibited very high sensitivity of ∼75 kHz/%RH from 20 to 90%RH, ultrafast response (1 s and 2 s for humidification and desiccation, respectively) and good sensing linearity. Furthermore, the sensor could detect humidity as low as 0.5%RH, suggesting its potentials for low humidity detection. Attempts were done to explain the attractive humidity sensing performance of the sensor by considering conductivity, hydrophilicity, viscoelasticity and morphology of the polymer composite nanofibers.     

A SAW gas sensor for NO2. Chemically immobilized phthalocyanines as chemical interface

Summary A surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor for NO₂ has been developed in which a chemically immobilized copper(II)-phthalocyanine layer was applied using 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane as a spacer instead of a sublimated layer. The response time is shortened and the sensitivity is decreased in this way. It is expected that response time and selectivity will improve even more when true monolayers are obtained instead of the observed layers containing the polymerized spacer.

Multi‐Channel Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors Based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA) for Organic Vapors

A multi‐channel surface acoustic wave (SAW) detection system which is employed to detect various organic molecules in a static system was prepared using 315 MHz one‐port quartz resonators and a home‐made computer interface for signal acquisition and data process. The oscillating frequency of the quartz crystal decreases on adsorption of organic molecules on the coating materials. The principal component analysis (PCA) method with SAS software was applied to select the appropriate coating materials onto the SAW crystals for organic vapors, e.g. hexane, 1‐hexene, 1‐hexyne, 1‐propanol, propionaldehyde, propionic acid, and 1‐propylamine. A dataset for a multi‐channel sensor with 19 SAW crystals for 7 analyses was collected after comparing the correlation between the 19 coating materials and the first six principal component (PC) factor. Furthermore, linear discriminate analysis (LDA) with SPSS software and a profile discrimination map were also applied and discussed for the discrimination of these organic vapors. These organic molecules could be clearly distinguished by the six‐channel SAW static sensor. The effect of concentration for various organic vapors was investigated and discussed.     

Development of a sensitive and selective kojic acid sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer modified electrode in the lab-on-valve system

In this work, a kojic acid electrochemical sensor, based on a non-covalent molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) modified electrode, had been fabricated in the lab-on-valve system. The sensitive layer was synthesized by cyclic voltammetry using o-phenylenediamine as the functional monomer and kojic acid as the template. The template molecules were then removed from the modified electrode surface by washing with NaOH solution. Differential pulse voltammetry method using ferricyanide as probe was applied as the analytical technique, after extraction of kojic acid on the electrode. Chemical and flow parameters associated with the extraction process were investigated. The response recorded with the imprinted sensor exhibited a response in a range of 0.01-0.2 μmol L⁻¹ with a detection limit of 3 nmol L⁻¹. The interference studies showed that the MIP modified electrode had excellent selectivity. Furthermore, the proposed MIP electrode exhibited good sensitivity and low sample/reagent consumption, and the sensor could be applied to the determination kojic acid in cosmetics samples.

Rapid determination of floral aroma compounds of lilac blossom by fast gas chromatography combined with surface acoustic wave sensor

A novel analytical method using fast gas chromatography combined with surface acoustic wave sensor (GC/SAW) has been developed for the detection of volatile aroma compounds emanated from lilac blossom (Syringa species: Syringa vulgaris variginata and Syringa dilatata). GC/SAW could detect and quantify various fragrance emitted from lilac blossom, enabling to provide fragrance pattern analysis results. The fragrance pattern analysis could easily characterize the delicate differences in aromas caused by the substantial difference of chemical composition according to different color and shape of petals. Moreover, the method validation of GC/SAW was performed for the purpose of volatile floral actual aroma analysis, achieving a high reproducibility and excellent sensitivity. From the validation results, GC/SAW could serve as an alternative analytical technique for the analysis of volatile floral actual aroma of lilac. In addition, headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) GC-MS was employed to further confirm the identification of fragrances emitted from lilac blossom and compared to GC/SAW.     

Preparation of PbS Nanoparticles by Phase-Transfer Method and Application to Pb2+-Selective Electrode Based on PVC Membrane

Abstract

A novel approach to prepare homogeneous PbS nanoparticles by phase-transfer method was developed. The preparatory conditions were studied in detail, and the nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis spectroscopy. Then a novel lead ion-selective electrode of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane based on these lead sulfide nanoparticles was prepared, and the optimum ratio of components in the membrane was determined. The results indicated that the sensor exhibited a wide concentration range of 1.0 × 10^?5 to 1.0 × 10^?2 mol·L^?1. The response time of the electrode was about 10 s, and the optimal pH in which the electrode could be used was from 3.0 to 7.0. Selectivity coefficients indicated that the electrode was selective to the primary ion over the interfering ion. The electrode can be used for at least 3 months without any divergence in potential. It was successfully applied to directly determine lead ions in solution and used as an indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of lead ions with EDTA.     

Ruthenium(III) Schiff's Base Complex as Novel Chloride Selective Membrane Sensor

A novel chloride PVC‐based membrane sensor based on a ruthenium(III) Schiff's base complex, as an excellent neutral carrier, has been developed. The ruthenium complex, in combination with a ketonic plasticizer and a cationic additive led to ISEs with fundamental characteristics, such as slope sensitivity, short response times and selectivity coefficients, which were sufficient for practical applications. The sensor with composition of 30% PVC, 62% benzyl acetate, 5% ruthenium(III) Schiff's base complex and 3% hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide displays near‐Nernstian behavior in a wide concentration range (1.0×10^?1–3.0×10^?6 M with slope of ?54.5±0.5) with a detection limit of 2.0×10^?6 M (71.0 ng per mL). The response of the electrode is independent on pH in the range of 4.0–10.0 and can it be used for at least ten weeks. The proposed electrode shows a very short response time (<20 s) in whole concentration range. The sensor displays high selectivity toward chloride ions over several organic and inorganic anions. It was successfully applied for the determination of chloride in serum samples. It was also used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of chloride ions with silver nitrate solution.

Gamma-irradiation immobilization of lactate oxidase in poly(vinyl alcohol) on platinized graphite electrodes

A novel method for enzyme immobilization in a polymer matrix was examined with lactate oxidase (LOD) to make a sensor for lactate. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) and LOD were applied in layers on platinized graphite electrodes and cross-linked by exposure to a ⁶⁰Co gamma radiation source. When the sensor is dipped in lactate solution, the product of the enzymatic reaction, hydrogen peroxide, is detected at +300 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. The LOD-PVAL lactate sensor exhibits a fast response (10–50 s), a linear range between 26 μM and 1.7 mM, a detection limit of 13 μM and a sensitivity of 2.94 μA mmol^?1. The sensitivity and the linearity of the electrode were improved considerably by bubbling oxygen continuously through the lactate solution. Optimum response to lactate was obtained with a radiation dose of 3–10 Mrad. LOD was found to be active in the presence of the polymer under radiation doses as high as 40 Mrad. Repeated use of the sensors under various conditions showed a stable and reproducible response to lactate for over 80 days.

Controllable and reversible proton transfer for inorganic cyanide visual sensing based on the deprotonation of azo-phenolic hydroxyl group

ABSTRACT

Methods for optical detection of inorganic cyanide based on the single molecule sensor with high selectivity and sensitivity have attracted increasing interest recently due to the high toxicity of cyanide ions. In this work, a visual sensor (S1) containing both imidazole NH and azo-phenolic OH was synthesised and characterised. The spectral experimental data indicated that protic aqueous solution facilitated enhancing the selectivity of cyanide ions with the nanomolar-level detection limit in semi-aqueous solution. The visual sensing mechanism arising from the deprotonation of azo-phenolic OH and the enhancement of intramolecular charge transfer could be clearly demonstrated by titration experiments of ¹H NMR, HR MS and energy changes between the HOMO?LUMO band gaps. Furthermore, the reversibility and reusability of S1 upon alternating addition of CN^? and H⁺ were studied.     

Highly Selective and Sensitive Triiodide PVC‐Membrane Electrode Based on a New Charge‐Transfer Complex of Bis(2,4‐Dimethoxybenzaldehyde)butane‐2,3‐Dihydrazone with Iodine

In this work, a highly selective membrane triiodide sensor based on a new charge‐transfer complex of bis(2,4‐dimethoxybenzaldehyde)butane‐2,3‐dihydrazone with iodine (Iodide Charge Transfer complex: ICT) as membrane carrier is introduced. The influences of five different solvent mediators on sensitivity and selectivity of the proposed sensor were considered. The best performance was obtained with the membrane composition containing 30% poly (vinyl chloride), 63% DBP, 5% ICT and 2% HTAB. The electrode shows a Nernstian behavior over a very wide triiodide ion concentration range (1.0 × 10^?7‐1.0 × 10^?2 M), and a detection limit value of 8.0 × 10^?8 M. The effect of pH on the potentiometric response of the sensor was also studied, and it was found that the response of the electrode is independent of the pH of the solution in the pH range of 4.0–10. The proposed sensor has a very fast response time (< 12 s), and good selectivities relative to a wide variety of common inorganic and organic anions, including iodide, acetate, bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrite, nitrate, sulfite, sulfate, cyanide and thiocyanate. In fact the selectivity behavior of the proposed triiodide ion‐selective electrode shows great improvements compared to the previously reported electrodes for triiodide ion. The proposed membrane sensor can be used for at least 6 months without any divergence in the potentials. The electrode was successfully applied as an indicator electrode in the titration of triiodide with thiosulfate ion.
