ABSTRACT
Chalcogenide glasses are widely used as sensitive membranes in the chemical sensors for heavy metal ions detection. The lack of research work on sodium ion-selective electrodes (Na+-ISEs) based on chalcogenide glasses is due to the high hygroscopicity of alkali dopes chalcogenides. However, sodium halide doped Ga2S3-GeS2 glasses are more chemically stable in water and could be used as Na+-sensitive membranes for the ISEs. In this work we have studied the physico-chemical properties of mixed cation (AgI)x(NaI)30-x(Ga2S3)26(GeS2)44 chalcogenide glasses (where x = 0, 7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30 mol.% AgI) using density, DSC, and conductivity measurements. The mixed cation effect with shallow conductivity and glass transition temperature minimum was found for silver fraction r = Ag/(Na + Ag) ≈ 0.5. Silver addition decreases the moisture resistance of the glasses. Only (AgI)22.5(NaI)7.5(Ga2S3)26(GeS2)44 composition was suitable for chemical sensors application, contrary to the single cation sodium halide doped Ga2S3-GeS2 glasses, where 15 mol.% sodium-halide-containing vitreous alloys are stable in water solutions. The analytical parameters of (NaCl)15(Ga2S3)23(GeS2)62; (NaI)15(Ga2S3)23(GeS2)62 and (AgI)22.5(NaI)7.5(Ga2S3)26(GeS2)44 glass compositions as active membranes in Na+-ISEs were investigated, including detection limit, sensitivity, linearity, ionic selectivity (in the presence of K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, and Zn2+ interfering cations), reproducibility and optimal pH-range.
