Abstract: This research paper presents a comparative study of macrocyclic membrane sensors for bi and trivalent metal ions, focusing on ion-selective electrode design and application. The research objectives include evaluating sensor performance metrics such as sensitivity, selectivity, response time, stability, and cross-sensitivity to address the literature gap in comprehensive comparative analysis. The methodology involves the fabrication of ion-selective electrodes with variations in membrane composition, electrode configuration, and operating conditions. Experimental measurements are obtained through electrochemical analysis of sensor responses to standard solutions containing known concentrations of bi and trivalent metal ions. Data analysis tools such as regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are applied to derive insights from the experimental data. Key findings indicate significant differences in sensor performance between various sensor configurations, with Sensor A demonstrating superior sensitivity, selectivity, response time, stability, and lower cross-sensitivity compared to Sensor B. The implications of these findings include advancements in sensor technology and the potential for tailored sensor designs with improved analytical capabilities for various applications. Overall, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of ion-selective electrode design and application, paving the way for future research and development efforts in the field.
