Various materials and sensor configurations that exhibit reversible potentiometric responses to the partial pressure of oxygen at room temperature In neutral pH solution are examined. In one arrangement, platinum electrodes are coated with plasticized poly (vlnyl chloride) films doped with a cobalt (II) tetraethylene pentamlne complex. For such sensors, potentiometric oxygen response Is attributed to a mixed potential originating from the underlying platinum electrode surface as well as a change In redox potential of the Co (11)-tetren-doped film as the complex binds oxygen reversibly. The response due to the platinum surface Is prolonged by the presence of the Co (II)-tetren/PVC film. Alternately, thin films of metallic copper, electrochemIcally deposited on platinum and/or sputtered or vapor deposited on a single crystal silicon substrate, may be used for reversible oxygen sensing. The long-term reversibility and potentiometric stability of such copper film-based sensors Is enhanced (up to 1 month) by preventing the formation of cuprous oxide on the surfaces via the application of an external nonpolar-izing cathodic current through the working electrode or by specifically using sputtered copper filmsthat have [100] preferred crystal structures as determined by X-ray diffraction. The implications of these findings In relation to fabricating analytically useful potentiometric oxygen sensors are discussed.Oxygen gas is a very important target forchemical sensing because its presence controls various processes in theenvironment, in vivo, and in numerous industrial processes. Existing oxygen sensors can be grouped broadly into two categories;(a) electrochemical and (b) optical. The elec-trochemical type include classical Clark style amperometric/polarographic devices,* 1 galvanic sensors, 2 and solid-state electrolyte (eg, calcia/yttrium-doped zirconia) potentiometric sensors3 that operate only at high temperatures. Newer optical fiber oxygen sensors are generally equilibrium devices that are based on changes in the absorbance of molecules that bind oxygen reversibly or on the ability of oxygen to quench the fluorescence or phosphorescence of a wide variety of aromatic species (including anthracene and pyrene de-rivatives, porphyrins, etc.). 4
