Solid Contact Electrochemical Sensor (20140304, Dr. Philippe Buhlmann)
Low-cost Ion Selective Electrode with Solid Contact
A new type of solid-contact ion-selective electrode (ISE) introduces low-cost colloid-imprinted mesoporous (CIM) carbon material as the solid contact. The CIM carbon, which is inexpensive and easy to manufacture, acts as an intermediate layer between a gold electrode and an ionophore-doped ISE membrane. The CIM carbon’s open and interconnected pore texture offers significantly higher capacitance than current technology.

Electrochemical Sensor Requires Little Calibration
The new sensor requires minimal calibration. This benefit is due to a redox couple incorporated into the ISE, yielding a standard deviation of E° as low as 0.7 mV. In addition, the CIM carbon’s high purity, hydrophobic characteristics and low number of redox-active functional groups give the ISE excellent potential stability and resistance to light, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water interference.
