Abstract
Modified screen printed SPE and carbon paste electrodes CPE with phenanthroline–tetraphenyl borate ionophore PhenTPB were fabricated for the determination of copperII The modified electrodes have linear responses over a wide concentration range 1 × 10−6–1 × 10−2 mol·L−1 of copperII ion at 25 °C with divalent cationic slopes of 2985 ± 058 and 2945 ± 081 mV·decade−1 and exhibit a detection limit of 1 × 10−6 mol·L−1 for SPE and CPE The selectivity coefficient was measured using the match potential method in acetate buffer of pH = 42 The modified SPE and CPE sensors show high selectivity and sensitivity for determination of copperII and also show stable and reproducible response over a period of five and three months for SPE and CPE sensors respectively This method can be used for determination of copperII in water soil plant and fish tissue samples and the results obtained agreed with those obtained with atomic absorption spectrometer AAS
