Solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs) feature miniaturization and integration that have gained extensive attention in non-invasive wearable sweat electrolyte sensors. The state-of-the-art wearable SC-ISEs mainly use polyethylene terephthalate, gold and carbon nanotube fibers as flexible substrates but suffer from uncomfortableness, high cost and biotoxicity. Herein, we report carbon fiber-based SC-ISEs to construct a four-channel wearable potentiometric sensor for sweat electrolytes monitoring (Na+/K+/pH/Cl−). The carbon fibers were extracted from commercial cloth, of which the starting point is addressing the cost and reproducibility issues for flexible SC-ISEs. The bare carbon fiber electrodes exhibited reversible voltammetric and stable impedance performances. Further fabricated SC-ISEs based on corresponding ion-selective membranes disclosed Nernstian sensitivity and anti-interface ability toward both ions and organic species in sweat. Significantly, these carbon fiber-based SC-ISEs revealed high reproducibility of standard potentials between normal and bending states. Finally, a textile-based sensor was integrated with a solid-contact reference electrode, which realized on-body sweat electrolytes analysis. The results displayed high accuracy compared with ex-situ tests by ion chromatography. This work highlights carbon fiber-based multichannel wearable potentiometric ion sensors with low cost, biocompatibility and reproducibility.
