Abstract: In this paper, an optical chemical sensor of fluorescence enhancement for lithium ion has been developed on the basis of ion-exchange sensing scheme. Asuitable fluorescent agent is incorporated in the plasticized PVCmembrane containing a lipophilic pH-indicator and lithium-selective neutral ionophore. Fluorescence varies as a function of the varying absorption of the pH-indicator, which in turn is modulated by the lithium concentration through the inner-filter effect of fluorescence. The response performance of the sensors and their theoretical response equations are reported. At pH9 0, the fluorescence response of the excellent sensor shows a good correlation with the theoretically derived formula in the linear range from 50×10-4 to 50×10-1 mol/Lwith a detection limit of 50×10-5 mol/Llithium ion. The response time is about 1 min.
