A simple and cost-effective approach is proposed for silicate ion determination. The approach is based on designing an all-solid-state potentiometric sensor. The plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane sensor is based on the ion-association complex [Ni(bphen)][SiO] as a sensory recognition material. The sensor is modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an ion-to-electron transducer material. The performance characteristics of the new silicate-selective electrode were evaluated using a potentiometric water-layer test, potentiometric measurements, impedance spectroscopy, and current-reversal chronopotentiometry. The developed electrodes exhibited a low detection limit (0.11 μg mL) over a wide linear range (4.0 × 10 to 1.0 × 10 M) and near-Nernstian sensitivity (slope = -28.1 ± 1.4 mV per decade). They presented a very short response time (<5 s) over the pH range 6-12 and provided acceptable reliability, ease of design and miniaturization, and high potential stability, in addition to good accuracy and precision. The sensors exhibited enhanced selectivity for silicate over many common interfering anions, such as SO, NO, CHCOO, CO, Cl, S, and PO. These results could qualify the developed sensor to be used in a successful way for the trace determination of silicate ions in different matrices. The developed method was successfully applied to the potentiometric detection of silicate in different pre-packaged bottled drinking water samples.

Potentiometric sensors with nanostructural ion-selective membranes were prepared and tested. Electrospun nanofiber mats were applied in novel all-solid-state sensors, using carbon paper as an electronically conducting support. For the sake of simplicity, application of a solid contact layer was avoided, and redox-active impurities naturally present in the carbon paper have proven to be effective as ion-to-electron transducers.

Calcium ions participate in the regulation of almost all biological functions of the body, especially in cardiac excitation-contraction coupling, acting as vital signaling through ion channels. Various cardiovascular drugs exert their effects via affecting the ion channels on the cell membrane. The current strategies for calcium ion monitoring are mainly based on fluorescent probes, which are commonly used for intracellular calcium ion detection (calcium imaging) and cannot achieve long-term monitoring.
