Abstract

Carbon-based nanomaterials with carboxylation or chemical modification are widely used as electron-ion exchangers of solid electrodes. For reducing the complexity and dangerousness of the intermediate layer preparation, different original carbon-based nanomaterials are dispersed in deionized water. They are applied in the fabrication of Pb2+-selective electrodes. Because the contact angle of graphene reached 132.5°, the Pb2+-selective electrode of graphene used as an electron-ion exchanger showed excellent performance with a low detection limit of 3.4 × 10−8 M and a fast average response time of 42.6 s. The Nernstian response slope could reach 26.8 mV/decade, and the lifetime lasted for a month. Therefore, graphene suspension without any treatment can be used as the intermediate layer of solid-state electrodes, providing a reference for the preparation of other ion-selective electrodes.

Summary

Introduction

Heavy metals such as lead increasingly aggravate the pollution of ecosystems and the poisoning of organisms [1]. The formation of a thin water film between the CPs and of CPs as an electron-ion exchanger improved the potential stability. Due to the good hydrophobicity and conductivity, carbon-based nanomaterials are widely exploited as electron-ion exchangers instead of CPs.
