Abstract:
Paper indicators based on colorimetric assays are widely used for nitrite detection, but their application to liquids with strong colours is restricted. We report a novel paper indicator that allows for sensing nitrite by colorimetric assay, Raman spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy with non-overlapping signal wavelength ranges through non-contact means. The paper indicator was prepared by impregnating poly(4-aminostyrene), 2-naphthol and single-walled carbon nanotubes in a regular filter paper. All three ingredients were essential to realize the triple-modality sensing. This method is simple and inexpensive, and promises to have wider applicability than the existing paper indicators.
