Abstract: Making use of the extraction chemistry of lithium, a PVCmembrane lithium ion-selective electrode based on 1-phenylazonaphthol-2 (sutan Ⅰ) and tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) was prepared.The membrane composition was optimized by orthogonal polynomial regression.Amembrane containing 4.5 mg sutan Ⅰ and 9.0 mg TOPOand 180 mg solvent mediator was obtained.The slope of the electrode was 51.7 mV/decade, with the linear range of 2.0 × 10-5-0.1 mol/Land the detection limit of 4.0× 10-6 mol/L.The electrode showed moderate selectivities for Li+ over Na+ and K+, and was applied to the assary of lithium in Li2CO3 tablets with satisfactory results.
