“…Besides, silver is known to react with halides to form new components, and this has been thoroughly studied in literature in the form of chloride, iodine, and bromide sensors [14][15][16]. Silver can also react with sulphates to form Ag/AgSO 4 , which has been used as an alternative to the Ag/AgCl reference electrode (RE) [17,18]. Considering that silver readily reacts with components present in water bodies (e.g., NaCl, MgSO 4 ), which could rapidly deteriorate the performance and the lifetime of the sensor, and its high environmental impact, other options for the conductive path material should be explored.…”
