Abstract-A flexible electrochemical sensor was screen printed on polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Carbon and silver based inks were used for metallization of the working, counter and reference electrodes. 1,10-phenanthroline and its derivative naphtho[2,3-a]dipyrido[3,2-h:2',3'-f]phenazine-5,18-dione (QDPPZ) was synthesized as sensitive layers for Hg 2+ and Pb 2+ , respectively. Cyclic voltammetry response of the sensor resulted in reduction peaks at 0.2 eV and -0.6 eV for selective detection of Hg 2+ and Pb 2+ , respectively. An 87 % and 9 % change in the average peak currents were observed for the 50 µM concentration of Pb 2+ and Hg 2+ , respectively, against a reference signal established for deionized water (DI). The response of the electrochemical sensor demonstrated the use of traditional printing processes and synthesized chemicals for the selective detection of heavy metal ions.
