Abstract

Abstract:

As a common potentiometric sensor, solid-state ion-selective electrodes (SS-ISEs) have attracted much more attention due to simple structure, low cost, easy miniaturization and wearability, therefore have been widely used in industrial analysis, environmental monitoring, biomedical and related fields. As one of the components of an all-solid-state ion-selective electrode, the solid-state transduction layer plays a crucial role in the performance of the electrode. Carbon-based materials have good ion-electron signal conversion efficiency and chemical stability, are considered as an ideal materials for solid-state transduction layers. This article briefly describes the response mechanism of carbon-based materials in all-solid-state ion-selective electrodes, reviews the research progress of graphene, carbon nanotubes, porous carbon materials and other kinds of carbon-based nano materials as solid-state transconductance layer materials. Finally, we analyze and compare the properties of the above materials such as electrical conductivity, capacitance, specific surface area and hydrophobicity as well as their prospective and future development trends.

Key words: solid-contact layer, carbon derived materials, all solid-state ion selective electrode
