Characterization of electrode geometrical dimension for ph sensor

Characterization of electrode geometrical dimension for ph sensor / Firdaus Zainun
Kawalan pH adalah penting untuk banyak proses alam sekitar, biologi dan kimia yang memberi impak kepada kehidupan manusia. Meter pH konvensional, menggunakan elektrod kaca telah digunakan secara meluas selama bertahun-tahun kerana ketepatan dan kebolehpercayaan yang tinggi. Kaca elektrod dan kertas litmus kekal sebagai sensor pH yang paling berguna. Sebagai fakta, bacaan pH kertas litmus tidak tepat, di mana elektrod kaca rapuh, tidak cukup baik untuk pengecilan dan kurang tepat untuk media yang kuat dan berasid. Untuk mencapai saiz kecil dan prestasi yang boleh dipercayai dalam aplikasi penderiaan pH, sensor pH mudah alih diperlukan. Dalam kajian ini, penetapan sistem sensor pH mensasarkan beberapa aplikasi spesifikasi yang memerlukan kuasa yang rendah, masa tindak balas yang singkat dan ketepatan tinggi. Objektif kerja penyelidikan adalah untuk mencirikan dimensi geometri untuk sensor pH dan mengkaji kepekaan sensor pH. “Computer aided drawing (CAD) dan pcb design software (DipTrace)” digunakan dalam mereka bentuk sensor. Dalam merekebentuk sensor, faktor geometri dipertimbangkan. Fabrikasi sensor bermula dengan reka bentuk fabrikasi “Interdigitated Electrodes (IDE)”. Proses fabrikasi ini melibatkan penyaduran nikel, penyaduran perak dan penyaduran emas. Untuk fasa pencirian, cyclic voltammetry dan pengimejan SEM digunakan. “ Keithley 4200 SCS semiconductor characterization system ” digunakan untuk menguji pengukuran pH pada sensor pH. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Control of pH is important for many environmental, biological and chemical processes that impact the human lives. Conventional pH meter, using glass electrodes have been widely used for many years due to their high precision and reliability. Glass electrode and litmus paper remain most useful pH sensor. As a matter of fact, the pH reading of litmus paper is not accurate, where the glass electrode is brittle, not good enough for miniaturization and not absolutely precise for strongly basic and acidic media. In order to achieve small size and reliable performance in pH sensing application, a portable simple pH sensor is needed. In this research, designation of pH sensor systems targeting some specification application which require low power, short response time and high precision. The objective of the research work is to fabricate the pH sensor, characterize the geometry dimension for the pH sensor and test the pH sensor. Computer aided drawing (CAD) and pcb design software (DipTrace) is used to design the sensor. Geometry factors are taken in consider in order to design the sensor. The sensor fabrication start with Interdigitated Electrodes (IDE) fabrication design. The fabrication process involves nickel plating, silver plating and gold plating. For the characterization phase, cyclic voltammetry and SEM imaging is used. Keithley 4200 SCS semiconductor characterization system was used to test the pH measurement on the pH sensor.
