Potentiometric Ion-Selective Electrodes for Water, Soil, and Biological Analysis
This community develops electrochemical sensors that measure specific ions in water, soil, and biological fluids, primarily using ion-selective electrodes with solid contacts and PVC membranes.
The work centers on the design and application of potentiometric sensors for detecting ions such as phosphate, potassium, and nitrate. Recurring methods include the use of ion-selective electrodes, solid-contact interfaces, and carbon paste electrodes. Key materials mentioned in titles include PVC membranes, carbon nanotubes, and Schiff base ligands. Applications span the determination of ions in water samples, soil analysis, and monitoring nutrients or contaminants. The research frequently addresses the need for high selectivity and simultaneous determination of multiple ions, with a focus on practical detection and monitoring in environmental and agricultural contexts.
The community is most prominent in research tracked for Chlorine, where it represents 0.6% of all Chlorine-related papers, and Potassium, where it accounts for 0.5% of Potassium research. It also holds a significant share of Sodium research at 0.3%.
The group comprises 7,387 papers, published predominantly in Analytica Chimica Acta, Analytical Chemistry, and Talanta.
Recent work includes the development of 3D-printed solid-contact sensors for sodium, inkjet-printed pH sensors for organ-on-a-chip testing, and ion-selective electrodes for detecting heavy metals in food safety applications.
