Abstract: A sensing platform for continuous water resource monitoring by electrochemical detection and solution parameter correction is provided. The sensing platform employs a solid-state electrolyte three-electrode cell, creating a high ionic strength environment within the solid-state electrolyte membrane, which is in ion exchange equilibria with the sampled solution. This device may be used as a standalone sensor in environments where the water parameters (pH temperature, and ionic strength) are controlled, or in concert with compensation sensors where water parameters are not controlled.

Abstract: A carbon nanotube (CNT) ion-selective field effect transistor (IS-FET) integrated device is used to detect nitrate ion in water. The device is operated as an IS-FET sensor, holding the measured potential between the drain electrode and an external reference electrode constant with a potentiometric circuit. Transduction occurs by changes in the effective CNT film gate potential with changes in the phase boundary potential of an ion-selective membrane (ISM) film. Moreover, the nitrate ISM film makes the device highly selective towards nitrate sensing. This printable IS-FET nitrate sensor enables real-time and high-resolution measurements and recording of nitrate ion in water at low cost.

Abstract: A copolymer of polytetrafluoroethylene and a perfluoro acid (e.g., Nafion™) is neutralized by a base to yield its corresponding salt, and a high-boiling-point compatible solvent is used as a substituting solvent, with the original, low-boiling-point solvent being removed by rotor evaporation. The resulting dispersion is screen printable, and its viscosity is controllable by adjusting its solids content. This screen-printable salt dispersion is especially useful in printed electronics applications such as sensors.
