Description
Summary:The monitoring of toxic contaminant traces in the environment needs a simple and sensitive method, such as stripping analysis that applies a pre-concentration step to the analyte on the working electrode. The present work focuses on the realization of a two-electrode sensor made by means of laser-induced graphitization of a polyimide (PI) tape. Moreover, taking advantage of the strong affinity of Bi for metal ions for detection by Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV), the proposed sensor implementation involved the use of Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanopowder as the precursor of Bi film as eco-friendly Hg substitute. Physicochemical analyses were conducted to investigate elemental and structural differences in relation to the shifts recorded in the voltametric behavior.
