Title: | Poly(ester sulphonic acid) coated mercury thin film electrodes: characterization and application in batch injection analysis stripping voltammetry of heavy metal ions | Authors: | Brett, Christopher M. A. Fungaro, Denise A. |
Keywords: | Poly(ester sulphonic acid) modified electrodes; Mercury thin-film electrode; Batch injection analysis; Anodic stripping voltammetry | Issue Date: | 2000 | Citation: | Talanta. 50:6 (2000) 1223-1231 | Abstract: | Mercury-thin film electrodes coated with a thin film of poly(ester sulphonic acid) (PESA) have been investigated for application in the analysis of trace heavy metals by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry using the batch injection analysis (BIA) technique. Different polymer dispersion concentrations in water/acetone mixed solvent are investigated and are characterised by electrochemical impedance measurements on glassy carbon and on mercury film electrodes. The influence of electrolyte anion, acetate or nitrate, on polymer film properties is demonstrated, acetate buffer being shown to be preferable for stripping voltammetry applications. Although stripping currents are between 30 and 70% less at the coated than at bare mercury thin film electrodes, the influence of model surfactants on stripping response is shown to be very small. The effect of the composition of the modifier film dispersion on calibration plots is shown; however, detection limits of around 5 nM are found for all modified electrodes tested. This coated electrode is an alternative to Nafion-coated mercury thin film electrodes for the analysis of trace metals in complex matrices, particularly useful when there is a high concentration of non-ionic detergents. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/5253 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0039-9140(99)00232-5 | Rights: | openAccess |
