Abstract

Carbon nanotubes have enjoyed unflagging popularity in recent years. They are successfully used in many fields of science, including potentiometry for the construction of ion selective electrodes with solid contact. A new type of SC-ISEs sensitive to nitrate(V) ions using multiwalled carbon nanotubes-ionic liquid nanocomposite was prepared. The effect of the kind of carbon nanotubes on the parameters of SC-ISEs was investigated. The study compares, among others, detection limits, sensitivity and linearity ranges of characteristic curves, and stability of the potential measured for the tested electrodes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and chronopotentiometric techniques were also used as research methods. It was found that the type of carbon nanotubes included in the nanocomposite influences both the metrological and electrical parameters of the obtained solid contact nitrate ion-selective electrode.
