Abstract :
This work covers an area of electrochemical detection of heavy metals that are dissolved in water solutions. This perspective and ecological way of heavy metals detection could be achieved using our prepared thick film sensor with suitable material of working electrode. This sensor should ensure reproducible and reliable detection of heavy metals with sufficient limit of detection. Various graphite materials for sensors working electrodes were prepared, screen-printed, measured and compared with a classical graphite electrode and thick film gold electrode, in this work.
