Current fundamental researches in the field of potentiometry demonstrate the perspectives of using polymeric nanostructured materials as ion-to-electron transducers in Solid-Contact Potentiometric Sensors (SCSs). This paper reports the preparation and comparative study of plasticized Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) membranes modified with fullerene C60, single-walled carbon nanotubes SWCNTs, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and graphene oxide as the transducing layer in SCSs for the determination of a common local anesthetic drug – procaine hydrochloride (Pro·HCl). As an ion-sensitive (recognizing) layer, a PVC membrane containing highly lipophilic 2-[bis-octadecyl sulfo]-closo-decaborate anions was chosen. The results were discussed in relation to nanofiller’s type and content. The best potentiometric characteristics were obtained for the sensor with the transducing layer containing the hybrid nanofiller SWCNTs/C60. This new sensor of a double-layer PVC membrane configuration exhibited a Nernstian slope (59.2 ± 0.2 mV/decade) in the wide linear range (5×10-7– 1×10-2 M) with the low limit of detection (10-7.1 M), fast response time (≤ 7 s), and stable potentiometric response (drift potential ± 0.27 mV h-1 over 7 h of soaking in 1x10-5 M Pro·HCl solution).
