  • Characterization of the sensor nanofilm using spectroscopic ellipsometry, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and electrical conductivity measurements.
  • Impedance spectroscopy measurements for fluoride detection in aqueous solutions across a concentration range of 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻⁴ M.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed sensor successfully detected fluoride in a broad concentration range (10⁻¹¹–10⁻⁴ M).
    • A calibration curve was established for quantitative fluoride analysis.
    • Changes in electrical conductivity, attributed to boron-fluoride complex formation, correlated with impedance spectroscopy results.

    Conclusions:

    • A fluorene-based π-conjugated copolymer with dibenzoborole units can be effectively used to create a sensitive fluoride sensor.
    • Impedance spectroscopy provides a viable method for the quantitative detection of fluoride in aqueous solutions.
    • The sensor exhibits potential for reliable fluoride monitoring due to its broad detection range and sensitivity.
