PVC based ion selective electrode, which was selective and sensitive to Ni (II) ions, was developed using 1-phenyldecane -1,3 -diones (LIX 54) as a carrier. The electrode exhibited a good potentiometric response for Ni (II) over a wide concentration range (1.0×10-5 -1.0×10-1 M) with a slope 29.1 + 1.6 mV/decade. The proposed electrode has a response time about 25 s. The electrode is suitable for use in aqueous solutions in a wide pH range of 8.0 to 9.5. The proposed electrode was used in two different applications such as the determination of nickel concentration in nickel-cadmium battery and as an indicator electrode for potentiometric titration of Ni 2+ ion with EDTA.
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.
