This study developed a stable polyaniline (PAni) sensor for ammonium ion detection using sulfonated polyanions like PSS. The PSS-doped PAni sensor shows stable and sensitive detection across a wide concentration range.

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Sensing

Background:

  • Polyaniline (PAni) is valuable for biosensors but unstable at neutral/basic pH.
  • Instability leads to loss of electrochemical activity and conductivity.
  • Developing stable PAni-based sensors is crucial for reliable detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To stabilize polyaniline (PAni) for enhanced electrochemical activity.
  • To fabricate a sensor for sensitive ammonium ion detection.
  • To improve the stability and performance of PAni-based sensors.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of PAni composites with sulfonated polyanions (Nafion, PVS, PSS).
  • Characterization using ESCA, SEM, and electrochromic properties.
  • Immobilization with diazo-resin (DAR) and UV curing for enhanced stability.

Main Results:

  • PAni composites with PVS and PSS showed good incorporation and stability.
  • Modified electrodes exhibited PAni electroactivity for ammonium ion sensing.
  • The PSS-doped PAni electrode demonstrated linear detection from 0-100mM NH4+ with pH stability (6.9-7.6).

Conclusions:

  • Sulfonated polyanions, particularly PSS, effectively stabilize PAni.
  • DAR/UV treatment further enhances electrode stability.
  • The PSS-doped PAni sensor offers a stable and sensitive platform for ammonium ion detection.
