The Electropolymerization of 2,6‐Diaminopyridine and Its Application as Mercury Ion Selective Electrode

“…Previously [5] we have used a derivative of polypyridine i.e. poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) as an Hg-ISE and has obtained reasonable results.…”

“…Among these methods ion selective electrodes (ISEs) offer a simple and useful tool for direct detection of mercury ions. They offer great advantages, which include, speed and ease of preparation, simplified procedures, relatively fast response, reasonable selectivity, and a wide linear dynamic range, at a relatively low cost [5]. Furthermore, ISE developments offer the possibility of sensor miniaturization, based on solid-state ISE, which use solvent polymeric membranes that allow the sensing liquid membrane to be cast on the solid electrode surfaces and eliminates the need for an internal solution [6].…”

Solid-contact Hg(II)-selective electrode based on a carbon-epoxy composite containing a new dithiophosphate-based ionophore

“…The potentiometric sensors offer several advantages such as: low cost, ease of fabrication, low detection limits, wide response range, reasonable selectivity, among others [14,15]. Diverse reports can be found in the literature concerning ion-selective electrodes (ISE) that used neutral ligands for Hg(II) detection, from which it becomes obvious that the contact surface configuration varies [16][17][18][19], as in some cases the ligand is encapsulated within a polymer membrane, to decrease its loss in the electrode.…”

Fabrication of a silver (I) ion PVC-membrane sensor based on 2-{(E)-[(2-amino-5-nitrophenyl)imino]methyl}-4-methoxy phenol as a selective sensing material

“…The need for highly sensitive and selective determination of silver ions arises from its economic value and its long-term toxicity for humans and environment [1][2][3][4]. It is known that silver deactivates sulfhydryl enzymes and also combines with amine, imidazole and carboxyl groups [5].…”
