Cadmium (II) electrode based on plasticized PVC membranes with 1-furoyl-3,3-diethyl thiourea as ionophore and tributylphosphate as plasticizer has been developed. The membrane was applied on a support of conducting epoxy resin. Some parameters of evaluation of the electrode are presented in this work. The constructed electrode showed linear response in the concentration range of 10-6-10-3 mol/dm 3 , had a slope of 28.5 mV/decade, a detection limit (DL) of 2.10-6 mol/dm 3 and a lower limit of lineal range (LLLR) of 4.2.10-6 mol/dm 3. The static response time obtained was less than 20 seconds. The Cd/S relationship in the membrane was 1:1, as was determined by chemical microanalysis of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The constructed electrodes had a lifetime of 5 days.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
