I I I 1 VOLTAMMETRIC OXYGEN SENSOR The present invention relates to a voltammetric oxygen sensor and, more particularly, to such a voltammetric oxygen sensor in which a reference electrode is associated with a pair of electrodes to provide a cathodereference voltage readout.
Oxygen sensors are known in the prior art for determining oxygen content of a sample. Such sensors include a pair of electrodes that are connected by means of an electrolyte medium. The electric circuit parameters of this device change when exposed to materials having different oxygen content as, for example, oxygen from a sample when passing into the sensor electrolyte changes the voltage or current between the two electrodes and the changes are a well-defined function of the oxygen content of the sample.
A specific type of voltammetric sensing of end points in redox titrations has been described in an article entitled Derivative Polarographic Titrations by C. N. Reilley et al. at pages 1223-1 226 in "Analytical Chemistry, Volume 23, No. 9, September, I95 I. We found that we could measure oxygen content with the system described in the above publication. Such an oxygen measurement has not been reported previously to the best of our knowledge. While the above system had high sensitivity and adequate stability, it had the serious problem of undesirable sensitivity to IR drop and the associated polarization of the non-oxygen sensitive electrode.
The primary objects of our invention are to provide a rugged and dependable voltammetric oxygen sensor which is suitable for biomedical, environmental control, and other applications.
In accordance with one aspect of our invention, a voltammetric oxygen sensor includes a pair of spaced apart and electrically insulated noble metal wire electrodes, and a reference electrode associated with the pair of electrodes to provide a cathode-reference voltage readout.
These and various other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be better understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view of a voltammetric oxygen sensor made in accordance with our invention; and
FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of a modified voltammetric oxygen sensor made in accordance with our invention.
In FIG. 1 of the drawing, there is shown generally at a voltammetric oxygen sensor embodying our invention. Sensor 10 is shown with generally. parallel and spaced apart elongated noble metal wire anode and cathode electrodes 11 and 12, respectively. Such wires are made, for example, of platinum. Electrodes 11 and 12 are electrically insulated by electrical insulation 13 which is shown as an electrically insulating glass rod in which the electrodes are embedded. Ends 14 and 15 of electrodes 11 and 12 are exposed. Ends 16 and 17 of electrodes 11 and 12 are also exposed. Exposed ends J4 and 15 are shown immersed in a pI-Iydrion buffer 6.8 solution 18 within a container 19.
A reference electrode is associated with elec trodes 11 and 12 by being immersed partially in solution 18 within container 19 and spaced from exposed ends 14 and 15 of electrodes 11 and 12. Reference 2 electrode 20 is shown with a silver-silver chloride electrode 21, a salt solution 22, a glass envelope 23. a cover 24, an electrical lead 25 from electrode 21, and a capillary opening 26.
Constant current source means 28 in the form of a battery and large value resistor is connected by electrical leads 29 and 30 across anode 11 and cathode 12. A high impedance voltmeter 3] is connected across cathode l2 by an electrical lead 32 and across reference electrode 20 by electrical lead 25. The resulting structure is a voltammetric oxygen sensor made in accordance with our invention which sensor is shown immersed partially in a solution sample within a container.
In FIG. 2 of the drawing, there is shown a modified voltammetric oxygen sensor embodying our invention. As in FIG. 1, there are shown generally parallel and spaced apart elongated noble metal wire anode and cathode electrodes 11 and 12 which are embedded in electrical insulation 13. Ends [4 and 15 of electrodes 11 and 12 are exposed. Ends 16 and 17 of electrodes 11 and 12 are also exposed. A reference electrode 33 surrounds at least partially electrodes 11 and 12 and is electrically insulated therefrom by insulation 13. Electrode 33 is shown as a silver tube 34 with a silver chloride region 35. A suitable aqueous electrolyte, such as a buffered saline solution, is in contact with the anode, cathode and reference electrodes. It will, of course, be appreciated that a gelling agent may be employed with the electrolyte to fabricate more easily the sensor. A diffusion barrier 36, which is electrically insulating and has an appropriate permeability coefficient for the particular substance to be sensed, such as oxygen, encapsulates the electrodes and electrolyte. Further, since barrier 36 is electrically insulating, it is employed to cover the exterior of the sensor at 37. As in FIG. 1, cur rent source 28, leads 29 and 30, high impedance voltmeter 31, and leads 25 and 32 are also employed in the same manner.
We found that we could form a voltammetric oxygen sensor which eliminated the undesirable sensitivity to IR drop and the associated polarization of the non-oxygen sensitive electrode.
Our present voltammetric oxygen sensor is formed by providing a pair of generally parallel and spaced apart elongated noble metal wire cathode and anode electrodes. While we prefer platinum, other noble metals are suitable. The electrodes are preferably embedded in electrical insulation. A variety of conventional electrically insulating materials can be employed.
In our first embodiment the opposite ends of the electrodes are exposed. One exposed end of the glass rod with associated electrodes is immersed in a sample solution, such as pHydrion buffer 6.8 solution, within a container. A conventional silver-silver chloride salt bridge reference electrode is associated with the cathode and anode by being immersed in the same solution. Other solutions can be also employed, such as 0.1 M K A constant current source in the form of a battery and large value resistor is connected by electrical leads across the opposite exposed ends of the cathode and anode. A high impedance voltmeter is connected by electrical leads across the exposed end of the cathode and the exposed end of the reference electrode. The resulting structure is a voltammetric oxygen sensor made in accordance with our invention.
The above described sensor was operated by employing a quiescent pHydrion buffer 6.8 solution saturated with gas at room temperature. The voltage in the above solution saturated by air and then by oxygen was measured by an electrometer. The voltage measurement is the voltage of the cathode versus the reference electrode which provides high sensitivity with good stability.
In the second embodiment of our invention the opposite ends of the electrodes are exposed initially. A reference electrode surrounds at least partially the anode and cathode electrodes and is electrically insulated therefrom by the insulation in which the anode and cathode are embedded. The reference electrode is silver with a silver chloride region agent at one end thereof. The silver-silver chloride electrode can be provided. for example. to silver paint, a silver tube, a silver spiral or a configuration. The exposed region of the silver is provided with a silver chloride layer, which region is adjacent to one end of the silver. A suitable aqueous electrolyte such as a buffered saline solution is in contact with the anode, cathode and reference electrodes. Such an electrolyte can be applied for contact with the above electrolytes by adding a small amount of a conventional gelling agent to the electrolyte solution. A diffusion barrier which is electrically insulating and has an appropriate permeability coefficient for the particular substance to be sensed, such as oxygen, encapsulates the electrodes and the electrolyte. Since the barrier is electrically insulating, it is also employed to cover the exterior of the sensor. A silicone-polycarbonate block copolymer is a suitable diffusion barrier material. Additional materials for providing diffusion barriers which are also electrically insulating materials are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,714,015. The application of such diffusion barriers and related information on forming sensors is also provided in this patent. This patent is incorporated by reference in the present application, which patent is assigned to the same assignee as the present application.
Examples of voltammetric oxygen sensors made in accordance with our invention are as follows:
EXAMPLE l A voltammetric oxygen sensor was formed as abovedescribed and as shown in FIG. I of the drawing. The sensor was formed by a pair of generally parallel and spaced apart elongated platinum wire cathode and anode electrodes. Each of these electrodes had a 0.005 inch diameter and was 0.2 centimeter in length. The electrodes were spaced 0.1 centimeter apart. The electrodes were then embedded in a rod of electrically insulating glass. This embedding was accomplished by setting the wires within a fixture into which molten glass was poured. The glass rod covered the electrode substantially except that the opposite ends of the electrodes were exposed. A separate conventional silversilver chloride salt bridge reference electrode was associated with but spaced from the cathode and anode. A constant current source in the form of a battery and large value resistor was connected by electrical leads across one opposite exposed end of the cathode and anode. A high impedance voltmeter was connected by electrical leads across the same exposed end of the cathode and the exposed end of the reference elec trode. The resulting structure was a voltammetric oxygen sensor made in accordance with our invention.
EXAMPLE II The voltammetric oxygen sensor of Example I was tested by having the cathode and anode at one exposed end immersed separately in two different solution samples at different times. Each solution was contained within a container. The reference electrode was also immersed separately in the same solutions. Two separate tests were made in quiescent solutions which were saturated with gas at room temperature. In each of these tests the battery voltage was 1.35 volts, the resistance was provided by a 15 megohm resistor, and the polarization current was 0.1 microarnpere. The voltage was measured by an electrometer, which voltage was the voltage of the cathode versus the reference electrode. Each solution was first saturated by air and the voltage measurement obtained. The solution was then saturated with oxygen and the voltage measurement obtained.
EXAMPLE Ill Table 1 Voltage in Solution Saturated By Voltage Solution Air Oxygen Change Hydrion buffer pH 6.8 -1.1542\/. -0.830V. 0.0712V. 0.1 M K 50, -O.170llV. 0.0922V. 0.0786V.
Our voltammetric oxygen sensor eliminates the undesirable sensitivity to IR drop and the associated polarization of the non-oxygen sensitive electrode. Thus, the placement of the anode with respect to the cathode is not critical. The cathode reaction is the more sensitive one with respect to oxygen concentration, and is also subject to fewer variances than the anode reaction, resulting in a more stable output.
While other modifications of the invention and variations thereof which may be employed within the scope of the invention have not been described, the invention is intended to include such as may be embraced within the following claims.
