Abstract

A method for the fabrication of ion-selective all-solid-state microelectrodes is presented. The ion-to-electron transduction process takes place into the transducer material. In this approach, AgI-Ag2O-V2O5 glasses, which exhibit ionic and electrical conductivity are applied as ion-to-electron transducers of polymeric membrane microelectrodes. All-solid-state electrodes based on potassium-sensitive poly(vinyl chloride) membranes, deposited directly on the surface of glass composites, exhibited theoretical responses. Their selectivity and durability were comparable to planar microelectrodes containing an internal electrolyte immobilized in the intermediate hydrogel layer. The only disadvantage of the proposed structures was their limited reproducibility. Moreover, it was found that the unmodified AgI-Ag2O-V2O5 glasses can be applied as ion-sensitive membrane of solid-state microelectrodes for the determination of Ag+ and I− ions.
