Abstract
The new reliable sensor for pH determination was designed with the use of hydrous iridium dioxide and its composites. Three different hIrO2-based materials were prepared and applied as solid-contact layers in pH-selective electrodes with polymeric membrane. The material choice included standalone hydrous iridium oxide; composite material of hydrous iridium oxide, carbon nanotubes, and triple composite material composed of hydrous iridium oxide; carbon nanotubes; and poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl). The paper depicts that the addition of functional material to standalone metal oxide is beneficial for the performance of solid-state ion-selective electrodes and presents the universal approach to designing this type of sensors. Each component contributed differently to the sensors’ performance—the addition of carbon nanotubes increased the electrical capacitance of sensor (up to 400 µF) while the addition of conducting polymer allowed it to increase the contact angle of material changing its wetting properties and enhancing the stability of potentiometric response. Hydrous iridium oxide contacted electrodes exhibit linear response in wide linear range of pH (2–11) and stable potentiometric response (the lowest potential drift of 0.036 mV/h is attributed to the electrode with triple composite material).
