Abstract

A pH-sensor based on alizarin-modified screen-printed multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-SPE, Orion High Technologies) imbedded in Nafion® shows a linear dependence between the oxidation potential and the pH from pH 0 to pH 10. This modified MWCNT-SPE is compared to a commercial alizarin SPE (DRP 110ALI, Metrohm - DropsSens). In addition to this technical application, these pH sensors seem to be a good didactic alternative to the widely used pH glass electrode, which many students find hard to understand.
