| Abstract | pH sensing for healthcareapplications requires sensors with mechanicallystable materials of high sensitivity and high reproducibility combinedwith low-cost fabrication technologies. This work proposes a fullyprinted pH sensor based on a specially formulated conducting polymerdeposited on a microelectrode in a flexible substrate. A formulation,which combined polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPy) with integratedpolyelectrolyte poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS), was speciallyprepared to be printed by inkjet printing (IJP). The sensor has goodsensitivity in the physiological region (pH 7–7.5) key forthe healthcare biosensor. This mixture printed over a commercial goldink, which has a singular chemical functionalization with phthalocyanine(Pc), increased the sensor sensitivity, showing an excellent reproducibilitywith a linear super-Nernstian response (81.2 ± 0.5 mV/pH unit)in a wide pH range (pH 3–10). This new ink together with theIJP low-cost technique opens new opportunities for pH sensing in thehealthcare field with a single device, which is disposable, highlysensitive, and stable in the whole pH range. |
