Electrochemical Sensor for Ammonium Nitrogen in Soil Based on Platinum Modified Screen-printed Electrodes

doi:10.7503/cjcu20230390

Abstract

Abstract:

Rapid detection of ammonium nitrogen（NH₄⁺） in soil is quit important for precise agriculture as it can significantly increase the utilization of soil fertility and reduce the environmental pollution. Compared with the traditional detection methods for NH₄⁺ which are time-consuming and expensive， here we developed a rapid and sensitive electrochemical sensor by platinum deposited screen printed electrodes（Pt-SPEs） as sensing components. Owing to the specific catalysis to NH₄⁺， using the carbonate to precipitate the metal ions， coupling with the ammonium extraction syringe， NH₄⁺ in soil can be detected in 5 min for the first time， with a detection range of 0.1—5 mmol/L（R²=0.997）and a detection limit of 13 μmol/L（S/N=3）. This sensors can be applied for on-site detection of NH₄⁺ in soil due to its rapidity， simplicity， high selectivity and stability without large equipment， providing an important data support for precise agriculture.
