Abstract:
      Resulting from the rising levels of atmospheric carbon, ocean acidification has become a global problem. It has significant impacts on the development, survival, growth and physiology of marine organisms. Therefore, a high-precision sensor is urgently needed to measure the pH of sea-water. Iridium wire with a diameter of 0.25 mm is used as the substrate, and an Ir/Ir(OH)x pH electrode is prepared by a one-step electrochemical method in a LiOH solution at the room temperature. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation reveals that it is coated with nanoscale particles. In laboratory tests, the electrode exhibits a very promising pH response, with an ideal Nernst slope (56.14-59.52), fast response, good stability and long life-span in tested pH buffer solutions. For a sea trial, four pH electrodes and one Ag/AgCl reference electrode are integrated with a self-made chemical sensor, and a profile detection of nearly 70 m is implemented near Newport Harbor, California on August 3, 2015. The results reflect that the pH value measured by the sensor is very close to the data given by Sea-Bird 911 plus CTD, with a difference value ranging from 0.000 075 to 0.064 719. And the sensor shows a better data matching degree in 0-40 m water depth. In addition, the high precision and accuracy of the sensor make it possible to use in the ocean observation field.
中文摘要:
      大气中CO2含量逐年上升,海洋酸化已经成为一个世界性难题。它对生态环境及人类的发展都产生着不可忽视的影响。因此,我们需要一个高精度传感器来监测海水pH值。本研究中传感器使用Ir/Ir(OH)x电极,制备时以直径为0.25mm的铱丝为基材,在室温条件下通过电化学法在其上原位合成Ir(OH)x膜。SEM图像显示铱丝表面包覆有纳米级颗粒的膜。该电极具有良好的能斯特斜率,并具有响应快速、稳定性与重现性好、寿命长的优点。将四支该方法制备的pH电极与一支参比电极集成于自制化学传感器,在加州纽波特港进行海试作业。结果显示,该传感器测得海水pH值与Sea-Bird 911 plus CTD测得数据十分接近,且在传感器下投和上拉过程中,数据吻合度更高。因此,自制海洋酸化传感器具有更高的精度和准确度。
