Resumen:
Chalcogenide glasses have successfully been applied as sensitive membranes of ion selective electrodes (ISEs) for many decades [1]. In particular, they have shown to possess excellent properties for the development of multi-sensor systems like electronic tongues [2], [3], [4]. The key component needed in the fabrication of this multi-sensor systems is a cross-sensitivity (various degrees of sensitivities to the presence of different ions) [5]. In previous works, ISEs with membranes of the system AgGeSe have shown to have good sensitivity to Ag+ and Cu2+ ions [6], [7]. In the present work, ISEs with either bulk or thin film membranes of composition AgX(Ge0.25Se0.75)100-X (10 < X < 25) were prepared. The bulk membranes were prepared by the melt-quenching technique and the thin films membranes were prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The sensitivities of the ISEs were measured against several ions: Pb2+, Cd2+, Cr3+, Mg2+, K+ and Fe3+. The electrodes showed an important response to the presence of Pb2+ and Fe3+ ions, a low response to the presence of Cd2+ and Cr3+ ions and a total lack of response to the presence of Mg2+ and K+. These results lead to the conclusion that electrodes with membranes of the system AgGeSe are good candidates to integrate multi-sensor systems.
