Abstract
The air and water stable room temperature ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [BMP]Tf2N, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphite powder and also a new synthesized Schiff base have been used to fabricate a new carbon composite electrode with very attractive sensing behavior. The new Schiff base was synthesized to apply as a selective agent in electrochemical responses of the voltammetric sensor for the determination of mercury (II) ions in aqueous solutions. The proposed sensor allowed the determination of mercury (II) in the wide linear dynamic range of 0.2–260.0 nmol l−1. The limit of detection (LOD) was noticed to be 0.05 nmol l−1. The prepared electrode was used for mercury (II) determination in the real samples.
