Abstract
Carboxy-functionalized graphene was used as a solid contact for potassium ion-selective electrodes with poly(vinyl chloride) based membrane. Transducer layers were obtained simply by application of a dispersion of graphene derivative in water. Analytical performance of thus obtained sensors was compared with that of all-solid-state sensors with typical transducer materials: poly(octylthiophene) applied as chloroform solution, conducting polymers available as aqueous dispersions of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) ions or polyaniline. It was found that all sensors tested were characterized with similar analytical parameters. Carboxy-functionalized graphene contact layer was in some respect similar to polyaniline one, what most probably results from the presence of pH sensitive groups in both materials.
