Automatic Monitoring Electronic Tongue with MEAs for Environmental Analysis

摘要

An automatic monitoring electronic tongue based on differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV) was developed for heavy metals analysis.Simultaneous detections of trace Zn(Ⅱ),Cd(Ⅱ),Pb(Ⅱ),Cu(Ⅱ),Fe(Ⅲ) and Cr(Ⅲ) in water samples were performed with three electrochemical sensors.The sensor chip combined a silicon-based Hg-coated Au microelectrode array (MEA) as the working electrode on one side with an Ag/AgCl reference electrode and a Pt counter electrode on the other side.With a computer controlled multipotentiostat,pumps and valves,the electronic tongue realized in-situ real-time detection of the six metals mentioned above at parts-per-billion level without manual operation.
