Conventional and Solid-Contact Lithium-Selective Electrodes Based on Tris[(N,N-Dicyclohexylamide) Neutral Ionophore

Single-piece solid-contact ion-selective electrodes with polymer–carbon nanotube composites

“…More simply method by dissolving conducting polymer in the sensing cocktail directly has been reported by Bobacka et al [38]. However, the electrode properties can be affected because of the sensitivity of the conducting polymers [39].…”

A micro-sized PVC membrane Li+-selective electrode without internal filling solution and its medical applications

“…When the literature is looked over, various types of Li + -selective electrodes based on organic and inorganic membranes are encountered [17][18][19][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Most of them contain internal reference solutions and have been prepared by using PVC membrane technology.…”

“…Grekovich et al developed solid-contact and single-piece Li + -selective electrodes based on polyaniline (PANI). The lifetimes of the mentioned electrodes were about 2 and 4 weeks, respectively [31]. The development of micro-sized Li + -selective electrodes having better performance characteristics with respect to detection limit, linear range, response time, life-time, ease of fabrication and cost are still important for clinical and pharmaceutical applications.…”

Solid-contact potentiometric polymer membrane microelectrodes for the detection of silver ions at the femtomole level

“…This design of electrodes is attractive because here is no need for any optimization of the inner filling solution compositon, and the possibility of working without any liquid components. At first, attractive lower detection limits with such types of electrodes were not achieved, mainly because of the interference of oxygen [16,17] as well as the presence of an internal water film at the boundary between solid contact and membrane [18,19].…”
