As shown in Figure 1, metal/metal oxyhydroxide pH electrode comprises tinsel 1, metal hydroxides 2, hydrogen ion semi-permeable diaphragm 3, heat-shrink tube 4; Tinsel 1 lower surface original position is electroplated layer of metal oxyhydroxide 2, and at the outside surface of metal hydroxides 2 coated one deck hydrogen ion semi-permeable diaphragm 3 again, the top of the middle part of tinsel 1 and hydrogen ion semi-permeable diaphragm 3 is coated with heat-shrink tube 4.
The present invention, by electrochemical reaction, forms oxyhydroxide 2 films on tinsel 1 surface, and the latter has sensitive response to the pH in aqueous medium, therefore can be used as pH electrode.
Material therefor is the tinsel of stable chemical nature, as Ti, and Ta, Nb, Zr, Ir, W, Ru and Pd silk.Length wiry can be determined according to the electrode size two aspect factors that need to and be easy to process, be generally 0.6~1.2 centimeter length.Ensureing under the prerequisite of required physical strength, select thinner tinsel to be conducive to reduce costs, and dwindle the size of electrode.The diameter of tinsel 1 generally should be between 0.1~0.5 millimeter.
The oxidation film of tinsel 1 surperficial self-assembling formation does not have electrochemical activity, can not be for the mensuration of pH value.Therefore, as the first step of making electrode, be, to remove the surperficial original oxidation film of tinsel 1.The method that can adopt mechanical grinding and chemical cleaning to combine.
Making another key of metal/metal oxyhydroxide pH electrode, is to want active hydroxide 2 films of tinsel 1 coated one deck in surface to hydrogen ion sensitivity.The present invention adopts electrochemical method to prepare the responsive film of hydrogen ion.
Regulate CHI760D electrochemical workstation, adopt cyclic voltammetry, scanning voltage 0-1.5V, sweep speed is 30 to 80m Vs
-1, sensitivity 10
-3a.Using tinsel 1 as working electrode, platinum electrode is auxiliary electrode, and Ag/AgCl electrode is contrast electrode, is connected on electrochemical workstation, and above-mentioned three electrodes are immersed in aqueous slkali, scans 1 to 3 circulation, on tinsel 1 surface, forms metal hydroxides 2 precipitations.
Above method is to the model of electrochemical workstation and producer without specific (special) requirements, and scanning voltage, sweep speed and scanning times can flexible, generally speaking, scanning voltage is high, the film that scanning times multiform becomes is thicker, is conducive to increase the service life, but the corresponding reduction of response sensitivity.
In Electrochemical Scanning process, the reaction occurring on tinsel 1 belongs to redox reaction:
Me+nH
2O=Me(OH)n+n/2H
2
Me represents metallic element, and n is the quantivalency of this metal.Reaction result is that metal is oxidized, and the hydrogen in water is reduced.During reaction, alkali is reaction medium, and itself does not change.Described aqueous slkali is one or several in LiOH, NaOH, KOH solution, and its weight percent concentration is 5% to 10%.Recommendation LiOH, because its character is relatively gentle, and the ionic radius of Li is little, formed membrane aperture is also little, is conducive to improve the antijamming capability of film.
Because tinsel used 1 mostly is precious metal material, expensive, in its one end, the burn-on relatively inexpensive copper wire of a joint or filamentary silver are conducive to reduce costs as wire.If do not mind cost, can directly use the precious metal 1 of sufficient length.
After hydroxide film 2 forms, recommendation drying at room temperature, that is: washing, absolute ethyl alcohol clean, room temperature is dried, to avoid hyperthermia drying process membrane structure to change, and peeling off because of the inconsistent formation of shrinkage factor between film and base material in cooling procedure.
Using perfluorinated sulfonic resin to be coated electrode is in order to improve its anti-interference and serviceable life.The trade name of perfluorinated sulfonic resin is Nafion, is du pont company's product.Commodity have solution and two kinds of forms of pressed powder, and wherein pressed powder is used after need being mixed with saturated solution with methyl alcohol, ethanol, propyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.Recommendation propyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol are as the solvent of Nafion.After solvent evaporates, the film that Nafion forms only allows that hydrogen ion sees through, and other component can not see through, so it is a kind of hydrogen ion semi-permeable diaphragm, and sensitive membrane that can guard electrode is not disturbed by other component, and increases the service life.
