| Sumario: | Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a highly toxic chemical capable of causing severe health issues. Due to its environmental impact, it is critical to create effective methods for its monitoring. Inkjet printing technology has become an alternative for sensor fabrication because it is an economic, fast, and reproducible method for mass producing micro-electrodes. Herein, a miniaturized 25 mm2 inkjet-printed amperometric sensor is presented. A gold electrode coupled with a silver track was modified with two inks: single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and a mixture of SCWCNTs and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Morphological and electrochemical properties were studied, as well as H2S sensor performance. This approach is a suitable option for environmental H2S tracking. |
