Sensory Properties of Polysulfone Hydrogel for Electro-Analytical Profiling of Vanadium and Selenium in Aqueous Solutions

Abstract:

Hydrogels have been a topic of extensive research because of their unique bulk and surface properties. They play a vital role in development of controlled release drug delivery systems. Polysulfone hydrogels are hydrophilic porous materials, which provide the advantage of biocompatibility and effective orientation of biomolecule in the design of the novel biosensors [1-2]. Polysulfone hydrogels may be prepared as water swellable powders or drop cast as thin films on screen printed carbon electrodes (SPCE). Polysulfone hydrogels produce electroactive thin films, characterized by 2 well resolved redox peaks, with a formal potential of 0.0867 V and diffusion coefficient in aqueous medium of 9.06e-9 Cm2/s. In this paper we report on the initial speciation studies and analytical performance of Selenium and Vanadium at the hydrogel electrodes, as evaluated by using cyclic voltammetry in a range of -0.7 V to +0.0 V versus Ag/AgCl. The morphology, adsorption and thin film integrity was evaluated using High resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy.
