A novel approach to signal transduction concerning solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISE) with a conducting polymer (CP) as the solid contact is investigated. The method presented here is based on constant potential coulometry, where the potential of the SC-ISE vs the reference electrode is kept constant using a potentiostat. The change in the potential at the interface between the ion-selective membrane (ISM) and the sample solution, due to the change in the activity of the primary ion, is compensated with a corresponding but opposite change in the potential of the CP solid contact. This enforced change in the potential of the solid contact results in a transient reducing/oxidizing current flow through the SC-ISE. By measuring and integrating the current needed to transfer the CP to a new state of equilibrium, the total cumulated charge that is linearly proportional to the change of the logarithm of the primary ion activity is obtained. In this work, different thicknesses of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) were used as solid contact. Also, coated wire electrodes (CWEs) were included in the study to show the general validity of the new approach. The ISM employed was selective for K(+) ions, and the selectivity of the membrane under implementation of the presented transduction mechanism was confirmed by measurements performed with a constant background concentration of Na(+) ions. A unique feature of this signal readout principle is that it allows amplification of the analytical signal by increasing the capacitance (film thickness) of the solid contact of the SC-ISE.
研究了一种关于以导电聚合物(CP)作为固体接触的固体接触离子选择电极(SC-ISE)信号转导的新方法。这里提出的方法基于恒电位库仑法,其中使用恒电位仪使SC-ISE相对于参比电极的电位保持恒定。由于主要离子活度的变化,离子选择膜(ISM)与样品溶液之间界面处的电位变化,由CP固体接触电位相应的但相反的变化来补偿。固体接触电位的这种强制变化导致瞬态还原/氧化电流流过SC-ISE。通过测量和积分将CP转移到新平衡状态所需的电流,可获得与主要离子活度对数变化呈线性比例的总累积电荷。在这项工作中,使用了不同厚度的掺杂有聚(苯乙烯磺酸盐)(PSS)的聚(3,4-乙撑二氧噻吩)(PEDOT)作为固体接触。此外,研究中还包括涂覆线电极(CWE)以证明新方法的普遍有效性。所采用的ISM对K(+)离子具有选择性,并且通过在Na(+)离子背景浓度恒定的情况下进行的测量,证实了所提出的转导机制实施下膜的选择性。这种信号读出原理的一个独特特征是,它允许通过增加SC-ISE固体接触的电容(膜厚度)来放大分析信号。
