Abstract:
A new potentiometric sensor electrode for sulfide based on conducting polymer films is introduced. The electrode is formed by electrochemically depositing a film of poly(3-methylthiophene) and poly(dibenzo-18-crown-6) onto an alloy substrate. Different methods were used for the electrode preparations. The alloy used has a low melting point, which allowed its use for manufacturing a microsize version of this electrode. The electrode response is stable for 3 days. The working temperature range for this electrode is between 10 and 40 degrees C. The linear dynamic range is 1.0x10(-7)-1.0x10(-2) M and measures total sulfide concentration over a range of pH from 1 to 13. The polymer electrode showed high selectivity for sulfide in the presence of many common interfering anions. The electrode is useful for the measurement of total sulfide in biological environments and can be manufactured in the micron scale. Therefore, it will be useful for the measurement within biofilms.
