abstract = {Many pH sensors on the market today have specific
limitations, such as the large and fragile construction of
glass electrodes, or the complicated manufacturing processes
of silicon-based devices including ion-sensitive
field-effect transistors (ISFETs). Furthermore, most pH
sensors require a stable reference electrode, which is
difficult to miniaturize. In applications where the solution
properties are largely understood, the use of an
impedimetric sensor without a reference electrode may be
sufficient, thereby simplifying the manufacturing of such
sensors. In this work, inkjet printed and flash lamp
annealed Ta2O5 on interdigitated electrodes, with an
approximate sensor area of 4 mm × 4 mm, is investigated as
a capacitive pH sensing layer in 0.5 M alkali chloride
buffer solutions. By using the equivalent circuit of the
insulator-electrolyte interface, the double layer
capacitance is shown to decrease with an increase in pH
within the range of pH 2 to pH 9, and agrees with prior
results for anodic Ta2O5. When using the device as a sensor
in both 0.5 M NaCl and 0.5 M LiCl aqueous solutions, the
change in capacitance at 100 Hz is approximately − 110
nF/pH. Apart from pH sensing, these results may also prove
informative in other applications, such as electrolytic
capacitors, electrophysiology, and battery anodes in aqueous
electrolyte. Moreover, the use of flexible, gold metallized
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foils as the sensor
substrate potentially allows for large-scale production via
roll-to-roll manufacturing, and further permits for use of
the sensor in flexible applications such as goods
packaging.},
