Definitions
- the present invention relates to the detection, identification and selective quantification of ionic chemical species in a fluid, typically in aqueous phase.
- the present invention relates more particularly to a miniature chemical sensor intended in particular for the analysis of aqueous solutions.
- the sensor comprises surface-functionalized carbon nanotubes with conjugated polymers carrying suitable chemical groups and allowing such detection, identification and quantification. The method of preparation and the uses of the sensor are described.
- the detection and the determination in liquid medium of ionic species are particularly of interest for the control of the quality of the water, that it is to evaluate its hardness, its degree of disinfection (in particular by the follow-up of the species derived from the chlorine) or to detect the possible presence of contaminants, for example nitrates, phosphates or heavy metal cations. Average limits are already established for these inorganic ions. In this context, the development of high-performance measuring devices is imperative.
- Detection and precise determination of the concentration of analytes (species to be detected) in a liquid medium is most often carried out by laboratory analysis using specialized measuring equipment (in particular FTIR, mass spectrometry, chromatography, atomic absorption ...) on samples taken on site by automatic method or by operators.
- FTIR FTIR
- mass spectrometry mass spectrometry
- chromatography atomic absorption
- atomic absorption atomic absorption
- Chemical sensors represent an interesting alternative to heavy laboratory equipment because they allow on-site detection of ionic species in a fluid, continuously or by spot measurements (over time).
- the sensitivity of a chemical sensor refers to the slope of the curve linking the concentration of the chemical species to the variation of the sensor signal.
- the sensitivity depends on the target concentration range, which depends on the target application. Sensitivity must be highest possible in the target range. The lowest detectable concentration of the target chemical agent is the sensitivity limit. It is preferably the lowest possible. In the case of contaminant analysis, it is preferably lower than the regulatory limit levels.
- the curve that binds concentration and sensor signal is a straight line.
- the sensitivity is the same when the concentration of the chemical species increases or decreases. In the opposite case, a hysteresis is observed which must be as low as possible.
- the selectivity of a sensor refers to its ability to detect the target species preferentially to other species present in solution. This means that the sensitivity of the sensor to the target species is much greater than the sensitivity to other species.
- the performance of the sensors can be characterized by other parameters.
- the sensor has a small footprint, that it is simple to manufacture and that it uses small amounts of material in order to have the lowest possible production cost, that it is energy efficient when its operation.
- the sensor is distinguished from the communicating system which converts the analog signal of the sensor into digitized information and then transmits it to the user.
- the assembly consisting of the sensor and its communicating system may be called probe, or measurement node, or simply sensor as well. In the following, it will be called probe.
- the probe shall transmit the information to the user in the easiest and most user-friendly way possible; also be low cost, energy efficient, as compact as possible.
- the sensor can be single-use or operate over time. Over time, it can provide periodic information (every minute, every hour, once a day, once a month) or continuously.
- Lifetime is defined as the time during which the sensor response (possibly electronically corrected or software corrected) correlates to the analyte concentration with the desired accuracy for the application.
- the service life may depend on the polling frequency. We will usually aim for lifetimes longer than 3 months, preferably equal to or greater than 2 years.
- the response of the sensor may experience a drift over time. If this drift is known finely, it can be corrected electronically or in software. If it is not sufficiently known, the sensor will have to undergo periodic recalibration to ensure the desired measurement accuracy.
- the response time of the sensor (time required to reach 90% of the response after contact with the species to be detected) must be low, as well as its recovery time (time required to return to the basic value of the signal after evacuation of the species in question). Acceptable response times can vary from a few milliseconds to a few minutes depending on the application.
- the sensors in a liquid medium can be classified according to their operating principle.
- Optical or photometric sensors which perform a detection by measurement of the absorbance and / or light emission of a solution of reactive molecules constitute a first category.
- the analyte solution to be tested comes into contact with the probe reagent (in solution or on a substrate).
- the result is a modification of the absorbance properties (for example a color change) or light emission of the probe (chemiluminescence, photoluminescence, in particular fluorescence), which allows to go back to the concentration of the analyte studied.
- This modification can be observed with the naked eye or measured finely by optical analysis equipment, often rather expensive, relatively bulky and complex to connect to a communicating system.
- the method is made selective by the choice of reagent.
- Another category of chemical sensors for the detection of analytes in solution is based on electrochemical or electroanalytical detection methods, that is, they exploit electrochemical reactions between a target analyte in solution and (depending on the configurations and analytes) two to three electrodes made in finely selected materials and (if necessary) a reference solution (eg mechanically confined around one or more electrodes by a tube).
- the materials are chosen according to the target electrochemical reaction.
- this type of sensor often operates in solution with respect to a reference electrode, it must be stored under special conditions when it is not used (because the solution evolves over time); they can drift strongly over time and need to be recalibrated very regularly (before each daily measurement campaign, usually every week or at best every month).
- Voltammetry is a very popular example of these methods of electroanalysis. It is based on the measurement of the current flow resulting from the reduction or oxidation of the test compounds present in solution under the effect of a controlled variation of the potential difference between two specific electrodes. It makes it possible to identify and quantitatively measure a large number of analytes. The choice of different electrode materials (core and surface coating) makes it possible to adapt the measurement to different analytes. In practice, voltammetric measurements can be disturbed by the presence of surfactants in the solutions to be analyzed.
- Another class of sensors is solid phase electronic devices whose electrical response changes with the concentration of the desired analyte in the vicinity of the device.
- the term electronic device here means an electronic component or an assembly of a limited number of electronic components (for example two transistors make up an inverter) to which a voltage, a current or an electromagnetic field can be applied.
- the response of the device is an electrical (current, voltage, resistance, impedance) or electromagnetic (electric field intensity, magnetic, wave frequency, power output).
- the detection principle is based on the change of the physical properties of one or more of the active materials of the electronic device when they are exposed to a solution.
- some sensors operate by detecting a variation of resistance (resistive sensors), conductance or impedance of a device, or by the variation of one or more electrical parameters of a transistor (in particular with effect of field), in particular the transconductance, the threshold voltage, the mobility, the leakage current or the saturated or unsaturated current.
- a variation of resistance resistive sensors
- conductance or impedance of a device or by the variation of one or more electrical parameters of a transistor (in particular with effect of field), in particular the transconductance, the threshold voltage, the mobility, the leakage current or the saturated or unsaturated current.
- Another relevant electronic device is antennas and inverters.
- the sensitivity to the different analytes and the selectivity depend on the different materials chosen for the body of the electrical device, which generally comprises a thin layer of metallic or semiconductor conductive material, organic or inorganic, and electrodes.
- the sensors based on solid phase electronic devices for fluid analysis are the most interesting because they are generally simple systems, comprising a layer of sensitive material allowing the recognition of the species with which it interacts, and of a transducer system that transforms the chemical interaction into an electrical signal, which is measured. They have the advantages of being compact, energy efficient, cheap and offer relatively short response times. They are therefore particularly suitable for on-site measurements and online process control.
- the analysis of different chemical species generally requires the use of several sensors sensitive to one or the other of the species or the use of a sensor provided with manually interchangeable probes.
- the field of fluid analysis therefore seeks solutions capable of measuring analytes in real time in a selective manner. Solutions are beginning to appear, but they are too cumbersome, too expensive, not sensitive enough or not selective enough, or not fast enough. They are also difficult to multiplex.
- carbon nanotubes have experienced a remarkable boom in the field of chemical sensors, where they can be used as a sensitive element at the base of the detection system.
- Carbon nanotubes take advantage of the large specific surface area of these materials, which thus ensures a very large surface of interaction with the fluid to be analyzed, and their electrical conductivity is very high.
- carbon nanotubes prove to be extremely sensitive to the adsorption of molecules on their surface, and therefore more generally to their environment.
- the combination of these properties makes carbon nanotubes a very interesting material as a sensitive element in chemical sensors.
- their small size is favorable to the realization of miniaturized devices.
- the sensitive material layer is sometimes prepared by dispersing the carbon nanotubes in a suitable matrix, which may be of inorganic nature (Sn0 2 , WO 3 ) or of a polymer nature, or by functionalizing them.
- a suitable matrix which may be of inorganic nature (Sn0 2 , WO 3 ) or of a polymer nature, or by functionalizing them.
- the use of carbon nanotubes functionalized by the poly (1-aminoanthracene) conducting polymer as sensing elements in sensors has been proposed for pH measurement (A. Star, Scientific Reports 4, Article number: 4468, 2014).
- Other carbon nanotubes functionalized with organic molecules have been used for the measurement of free chlorine in drinking water (LHH Hsu et al., Appl Phys Lett, 106, 063102, 2015).
- WO 2010/034840 discloses a chemical sensor based on functionalized carbon nanotubes, for detecting gaseous chemical compounds.
- On the carbon nanotubes are covalently grafted molecules carrying a group G1 (or a precursor of such a group) capable of reacting with the chemical compound to be detected.
- the grafted molecules may be cleavable aryl salts or polymers.
- the measurement of the resistance of the system is performed using metal electrodes in contact with the film formed by the carbon nanotubes.
- US Pat. No. 7,342,479 discloses a resistive chemical sensor for the detection of analytes in a fluid, the resistive region of which comprises carbon nanotubes optionally used in combination with a non-conductive polymer which swells or reacts with the analyte, and possibly organic or non-organic conductors. This polymer then serves as a matrix for the carbon nanotubes and forms non-conductive zones separating the carbon nanotubes, which control the conduction.
- the aim of the invention is the preparation of a chemical sensor that meets the needs and technical problems mentioned above, that is to say, capable of detecting and measuring, in real time, without sampling by an operator. presence of ionic chemical compounds in a fluid, and this quickly and for a moderate cost.
- This sensor must be a sensor whose sensitivity threshold, which depends on the analyte, is low (for example the tenth of ppm for hypochlorous acid), selective, easily integrated with electronic devices, compact and of "all-in-one" type, which can selectively give concentrations of several chemical species present in a fluid.
- the present inventors have developed novel families of conjugated polymers, each specially designed for the detection of a specific analyte or class of specific analytes. These new polymers have been found to be able to functionalize carbon nanotubes in a chemical sensor, both by preserving the functioning the electronic device, and promoting the electronic transfer between the polymer and the carbon nanotubes, thus making the sensor sensitive and selective vis-à-vis these analytes.
