This work summarizes the electrochemical response of flavanone carbon composite electrodes in comparison with Nafion ® -coated flavanone carbon composite electrodes, for use as voltammetric pH sensors in both buffered and low-buffered media. Square wave voltammetric measurements suggest the peak potential achieved from the electrochemical polymerization after the electron-proton oxidation responds with accuracy to buffered pH solutions for both coated and non-coated electrodes, with a potential shift of 55.1 mV and 54.6 mV per pH unit respectively. However, a considerable improvement in stability, accuracy and sensitivity is provided by the proton-transfer Nafion ® layer in CO 2 bubbled sea water. Furthermore, Nafion ® -coated flavanone carbon composite electrodes predicted a pH of 8.04 for the commercial seawater, which is in excellent agreement with the measured pH 8.05 value.
