Among electrochemical detection methods, square-wave anodic voltammetry (SW-ASV) is the most popular. However, this method has a number of limitations, for instance, mercury or bismuth electrodes are usually used as a working electrode, which are highly toxic substances. This article is devoted to the study of the use of track-etched membranes based on polyethylene terephthalate as a basis for electrochemical sensors. The modification of the surface of membranes was carried out by the method of photoinitiated graft polymerization of methacrylic acid. Magnetron sputtering with a mask was used to obtain electrodes on both sides of the membrane. The sensor has been tested for sensing toxic cadmium ions in a concentration range of 0.5 to 12.5 mg/L.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
