Development of the PANI/MWCNT Nanocomposite-Based Fluorescent Sensor for Selective Detection of Aqueous Ammonia.


ABSTRACT: The present work reported the polyaniline (PANI) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-based nanocomposite as a sensing material for the determination of aqueous ammonia by the enhanced fluorescence method. The excitation wavelength-dependent photoluminescence (PL) intensity has shown dual emission peaks at 340 and 380 nm that correspond to two different excitation energy states. The pH-based PL intensity and zeta potential variation were analyzed to optimize the suitable medium for aqueous ammonia sensing. Zeta potential was found to shift from 4 to -21 mV upon changing the pH of the the solution from acidic to alkaline medium. The fluorescence intensity of PANI/MWCNTs was found to increase upon increasing the pH from 3.0 to 6.0 (acidic region) and exhibits a plateau upon further increasing the pH from 7.0 to 12 (basic region). The PANI/MWCNT composite has shown a linear response to aqueous ammonia concentration varying from 25 to 200 ?M with a correlation coefficient (R 2) of 0.99 and a limit of detection of 15.19 ?M. The presence of relevant interference molecules and physiological ions had no influence on the detection of aqueous ammonia. Field-level study demonstrated that the level of aqueous ammonia can be determined selectively by using the PANI/MWCNT composite for various applications. The mechanism for the selective detection of aqueous ammonia is deliberated in detail.
