In this work, C(60) fullerene is used as an electrochemical mediator for the development of an all-solid-state ISE. The unique electrochemical characteristics of the fullerenes allow for the facile ion-to-electron transduction across the ionically active polymeric ion-selective membrane and the electrochemically active glassy carbon transducer. The interfacial ion-to-electron charge transfer was investigated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. The study of the analytical characteristics of a model potassium-selective electrode, together with the EIS studies, reveals that, indeed, the interfacial C(60) electrochemically active layer facilitates the ion-to-electron transduction, providing a stable and reversible solid-state ISE system. This finding is a significant contribution to the efforts aiming at overcoming one of the most significant drawbacks of the solid-state ISEs, that is the potential drift observed during continuous measurements, and could lead to the development of both cation- and anion-sensitive systems.

The fabrication of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) via printing technologies such as screen-printing, inkjet printing, and 3D printing is attracting increasing attention due to the superb reproducibility and scalability of these technologies. In contrast to traditional manual casting, coating, and assembling procedures often used in research labs, printing methods are much more compatible with manufacturing processes in industry and, therefore, are easier to scale up. In this paper, we first summarized and compared the printing mechanisms and ink requirements of screen printing, inkjet printing, and 3D printing technologies.
