Abstract: | A simple and robust approach for the development of solid-state ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) using nanomaterials as solid contacts is described. The electrodes are fabricated by using the mixture of an ionic liquid (IL) and a nanomaterial as intermediate layer, formed by melting the IL. Tetradodecylammonium tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate (ETH 500) is chosen as an model of IL to provide strong adhesion between the inner glassy carbon electrode and the intermediate layer. Nanomaterials including single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene were used as active ion-to-electron transducers between the glassy carbon electrode and the ionophore-doped ISE membrane. By using the proposed approach, the solid-contact Cu2+- and Pb2+-selective electrodes based on ETH 500/SWCNTs and ETH 500/graphene as transducers, respectively, have been fabricated. The proposed electrodes show detection limits in the nanomolar range and exhibit a good response time and excellent stability. |
