摘要
In recent years, there has been a pronounced interest in solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs), with emphasis on the use of conducting polymers as ion-to-electron transducer. In this work, a ladder conjugated polymer, thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (LCPT), was investigated in fabricating Cu2+-selective electrodes for the first time. The resulting electrodes were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), chronopotentiometry, and the water layer test. Results proved that the active LCPT facilitates the ion-to-electron transduction, and avoids the detrimental aqueous layer formed at the interface of SC-ISEs.
