Selective and sensitive lead (II) solid-contact potentiometric sensor based on naphthalene-sulfonamide derivative
Kamal, A.; Tejpal, R.; Bhalla, V.; Kumar, M. & Mahajan, R. K.
Abstract
A new naphthalene-sulfonamide (NS) derivative
has been used as ionophore to construct the polyvinylchloride-based
lead (II) solid-contact (SC) coated
graphite electrode modified with conducting polymer
poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/polystyrene sulfonate
(PEDOT/PSS). The lead-NS derivative complex shows 1:1
stoichiometry with the maximum stability constant of 5.75
as compared to other metal ions that is determined by
sandwich membrane method. The proposed membrane
morphology has been analyzed by scanning electron
microscopy. The proposed lead (II) SC-PEDOT/PSScoated
graphite electrode-1 (Pb(II) SC-PEDOT/PSS-CGE-
1) shows the detection limit of 5.62 × 10-8 M (56.2 nm)
with Nernstian slope of 29.21 mV/decade within the pH
range of 2.0–7.0 and exhibits small response time of <10 s.
It has been used as indicator electrode for the potentiometric
titration of lead (II) with ethylenediaminetetraacetic
acid and successfully applied for the determination of lead
(II) ions content in various environmental and ayurvedic
medicines sample matrices with very good performance
(0.999 correlation coefficients in the comparison against
atomic absorption spectroscopy method).
