Abstract

A novel carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with Bi-doped carbon xerogel (BiCXe) is presented as a promising alternative to electrode materials used to replace mercury electrode in detection of heavy metals ions from aqueous solutions. The ex situ preparation of BiCXe was realized by sol-gel technique involving a reaction between a mixture of organic compounds (resorcinol, formaldehyde, glycerol formal) and a bismuth salt (Bi(NO₃)₃^.5 H₂O) in the presence of a catalyst (NH₄OH), followed by gel washing, drying and pyrolysis at 550⁰C/ 2h/ in inert atmosphere (Ar). Electrochemical investigation of BiCXe-CPE was performed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV), and the detection of Cd (II) ions by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) in acetate buffer 0.1 M (pH = 4.5). The electroanalytical parameters of the new sensor were determined. The favourable performance of the novel electrode coupled with the mercury-free surface make this sensor very attractive for environmental monitoring of toxic Cd(II) ions.
