It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely configured to illustrate the invention and are not configured to limit the invention. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the invention by showing examples of the invention.

Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a potassium ion carrier, including:
a crown ether compound, wherein the crown ether compound has the structural formula shown below:
In the above structural formula, a is the first group, B is the second group, the first group and the second group are different, the first group is a cycloalkyl group or an aromatic group, the second group is an aromatic group or an amide group, and the potential response value of the crown ether compound to potassium ions has a correlation with the first group and the second group.
In particular, it can be seen from the above formula that the crown ether compound comprises two crown ether units connected by a bridging unit;
The crown ether unit is benzo-15 crown-5, the crown ether unit has high selectivity to potassium ions, the cavity diameter of the benzo-15 crown-5 is suitable for forming a stable complex with the potassium ions, and the crown ether can 'trap' the potassium ions in a solution, so that potential change related to the concentration of the potassium ions is generated in an electrode, and the potassium ion detection with high selectivity and sensitivity is provided;
The two crown ether units are connected through a bridging unit, the bridging unit can enhance the stability of the whole structure of the molecule and can introduce additional functionality or change the physical and chemical properties of the compound, so that the selectivity and the potential response of potassium ions are influenced, the bridging unit comprises a first group and a second group, the first group and the second group are different, the potential response value of the crown ether compound to the potassium ions is related to the first group and the second group, the first group and the second group can be in various different chemical structures, such as alkyl chains, aromatic groups or nitrogen-containing groups, if the first group is a cycloalkyl group, the introduction of cycloparaffin can indirectly influence the coordination environment of the potassium ions by changing the three-dimensional structure and the flexibility of the compound, the cycloparaffin group increases the hydrophobicity of the compound, the solubility of the compound in water environment is reduced, and when the first group and the second group are aromatic groups, the first group and the second group are different aromatic groups;
The size and spatial arrangement of the first group a and the second group B may limit the flexibility of the crown ether, reducing the number of stereoisomers thereof. This conformational restriction helps to stabilize the specific morphology of the crown ether, which has a higher selectivity and binding affinity for potassium ions. Suitable first groups a and second groups B may make the cavity size and shape of the crown ether compound more suitable for specific ions, such as potassium ions, thereby improving selectivity.
If the first group is an aromatic group, the aromatic group increases the selectivity to potassium ions through pi-pi interaction or through an aromatic group with a polar functional group, and the aromatic group has a functional group capable of forming hydrogen bonds, the interaction between potassium ions and the compound is increased, so that the selectivity to potassium ions is increased.
If the second group is an amide group, this has a positive effect on the potassium ion selectivity because its polar carbonyl group (c=o) and amino group (-NH 2) can form hydrogen bonds with potassium ions. The polarity of the amide groups may also provide additional coordination sites with potassium ions; amide groups are less hydrophobic than aromatic groups because they contain carbonyl and amino groups that can form hydrogen bonds. However, the overall hydrophobicity may be affected by other components in the compound, especially if the number of amide groups is large or the structure is large, and the overall hydrophobicity may still be increased.
As an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the structural formula of the first group is one of the following structural formulas:
First structural formula 1:
First structural formula 2:
first structural formula 3:
First structural formula 4:
Wherein R1 to R4 are hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups.
The group shown in the first structural formula 1 is a cyclohexane group, and the cyclohexane group can increase the hydrophobicity of the whole crown ether compound, so that the solubility of the compound in an aqueous medium is reduced; the cyclohexane group does not directly enhance the selectivity of potassium ions because it does not provide a functional group coordinated with potassium ions, but it can indirectly affect the coordination environment of potassium ions by affecting the overall three-dimensional structure of the compound.
The group represented by the first structural formula 2 is a naphthalene group, which is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon formed by fusing two benzene rings together. When R1 and R2 are hydrogen atoms, the structure is naphthalene, if R1 and R2 are alkyl, the structure is an alkyl derivative of naphthalene, the aromaticity and rigidity of the naphthalene group help the crown ether compound and potassium ions form a more stable complex, because the aromatic group can provide additional pi-pi interaction, and the naphthalene group can obviously increase the overall hydrophobicity of the compound due to the larger aromatic area, so that the solubility of the compound in an aqueous solution is influenced;
the group shown in the first structural formula 3 is an anthracene group, anthracene is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon formed by fusing three benzene rings together, and when R1-R3 are all hydrogen atoms, the structure is anthracene; when R1-R3 are alkyl, the structure is an alkyl derivative of anthracene;
The aromaticity and large conjugated system of the anthracene group helps the crown ether compound to form a more stable complex with potassium ions, the aromatic group can provide additional pi-pi interactions, thereby stabilizing the complexation of potassium ions, and the anthracene group can significantly increase the overall hydrophobicity of the crown ether compound due to its large aromatic area, thereby enhancing the response and stability of the electrode to potassium ions.
The group represented by the first structural formula 4 is an azobenzene group, which is a compound containing two benzene rings linked by an azo bond (-n=n-), and the introduction of azobenzene changes the three-dimensional configuration of crown ether, thereby affecting its coordination ability with potassium ions, and it increases the hydrophobicity of the whole compound, so that its solubility in an aqueous medium is reduced.
As an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the structural formula of the second group is one of the following structural formulas:
the second structural formula 1:
the second structural formula 2:
the second structural formula 3:
The second group shown in the structural formula 1 is a benzoate structure, and comprises a benzene ring connected with an ester group through an oxygen atom, if the benzoate group is used as the second group of the crown ether compound, the selectivity of the crown ether to potassium ions is not directly enhanced unless the position or the interaction with other functional groups can influence the coordination environment of the crown ether center, but the polarity of the ester group can influence the charge distribution of the whole crown ether compound, so that the combination of potassium ions is indirectly influenced; the presence of benzene rings increases the hydrophobicity of the entire compound, which is more hydrophobic due to its larger pi-electron system.
The second group represented by structural formula 2 is an anisole group, which is composed of one benzene ring and one methoxy, anisole is generally chemically stable and does not easily participate in most types of chemical reactions, which helps to enhance the overall stability of crown ether compounds and increase the hydrophobicity of crown ether compounds, thereby affecting the solubility of compounds and the behavior in biological membranes, and helping the stability and intercalation of compounds in hydrophobic environments.
The second group of formula 3 is an amide group, which is a common functional group consisting of one amino group (-NH 2) and one carbonyl group (c=o). In particular, this amide group is the simplest form of amide, i.e., formamide, which is formed by the combination of the carbonyl group of formic acid with an amino group.
If the amide group is used as the B group of the crown ether compound, the amide group may provide an additional coordination point, interacting with potassium ions through hydrogen bonds, thereby enhancing the selectivity to potassium ions.
In a preferred embodiment, the first group is a group of formula 1 and the second group is a group of formula 1, the hydrophobicity of the cyclohexane group contributing to the stability of the compound in a hydrophobic environment, such as in a biofilm or in an organic phase; although cyclohexane groups do not provide direct selectivity of potassium ions per se, coordination of crown ether centers and potassium ions can be indirectly influenced by adjusting the spatial structure of the compound, selectivity is enhanced, and the polarity of benzoate groups indirectly improves the binding affinity of potassium ions by influencing the charge distribution of crown ether; a specific experimental verification procedure is set forth in example 2, which is not repeated here;
In summary, the potassium ion carrier provided in the embodiment of the invention includes a crown ether compound with a specific structure, wherein the first group a may be a cycloalkyl group or an aromatic group, and the second group B may be an aromatic group or an amide group, and the three-dimensional structure and the electronic properties of the crown ether compound may be adjusted by reasonably selecting the groups a and B, so as to optimize the coordination interaction with potassium ions. For example, aromatic groups may enhance coordination through pi-pi interactions, while amide groups may form more stable complexes with potassium ions through hydrogen bonds;
The choice of groups a and B can affect the solubility of the entire compound. For example, cycloalkyl groups can increase hydrophobicity, while amide groups can provide hydrophilicity, thereby enabling the crown ether compound to be both stably present in an aqueous environment and effectively operate in a hydrophobic environment. There is a correlation between the potential response value of the crown ether compound and the properties of the selected groups a and B, which means that the sensitivity and response speed of the compound to changes in potassium ion concentration can be adjusted by changing these groups. These properties of potassium ionophores make them suitable for a wide range of applications, from environmental monitoring to biomedical detection, and for accurate measurement of potassium ions in industrial process control.
Example 2
Based on the potassium ion carrier provided in embodiment 1, embodiment 2 of the present invention further provides a potassium ion selective electrode, wherein the potassium ion selective electrode comprises a potassium ion selective membrane, and the components of the potassium ion selective membrane comprise:
crown ether compound, fat-soluble salt, thermoplastic resin and plasticizer in example 1.
In particular, the potassium ion selective membrane used for the potassium ion selective electrode is a key component of the electrode because it is directly involved in the selective recognition of potassium ions, and the potassium ion selective membrane comprises the crown ether compound described in example 1, which has a specific three-dimensional structure and can form a stable complex with potassium ions, and the crown ether structure is designed to be highly selective to potassium ions, which means that it can distinguish potassium ions from other similar ions such as sodium ions from a sample;
The thermoplastic resin provides mechanical strength and structural support to the selective membrane, and is also the matrix of the selective membrane in which both the crown ether compound and the fat-soluble salt are dispersed; specifically, thermoplastic resins include, but are not limited to, halogenated ethylene monomers or copolymers, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinyl bromide, polyvinylidene chloride, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and the like; styrene and its substitutes, such as Polystyrene (PS), polychloroprene, polybrominated styrene, etc.; acrylate or methacrylate monomers or copolymers, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethyl acrylate, and the like; diene polymers such as polybutadiene, polyisoprene, and copolymers thereof with styrene, acrylonitrile, and the like; silicone polymers or copolymers, such as Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and the like. Key factors to be considered in selecting thermoplastic resins for use in making potassium ion selective membranes include chemical compatibility of the resin, handling properties, and physical and chemical stability of the final membrane. For example, polyvinyl chloride is widely used in the manufacture of ion selective membranes due to its good mechanical properties, chemical stability, and compatibility with plasticizers and other additives, the choice of other resins will depend on the intended application conditions and performance requirements.
Plasticizers, including but not limited to phthalates such as dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, are used to increase the flexibility of the resin so that the film may be more easily handled and applied to the electrode, which may also affect the physical properties of the film, such as permeability and softening point, thereby affecting the performance of the electrode; fatty acid esters such as dioctyl adipate, dioctyl pimelate; o-nitrophenylalkyl ethers, such as o-nitrophenyloctyl ether.
Liposoluble salts, including but not limited to potassium complexing agents such as tetrabutylammonium salts, tetraphenylborates, or organometallic salts such as potassium copper (II) tetrachloroate ([ CuCl4] 2-) or potassium platinum (II) tetrachloroate ([ PtCl4] 2-), play a key role in the function of the electrode because they, together with crown ether compounds, enhance the selectivity for potassium ions; the selection of an appropriate fat-soluble salt is critical to ensure the selectivity and sensitivity of the electrode. The choice of salts depends on the target analyte (here potassium ions) and the properties that the electrode is desired to exhibit in a particular measurement environment;
In a specific embodiment, the potassium ion selective electrode comprises a reference electrode, a filling solution, a shell, an electrode body and the like in addition to the potassium ion selective membrane, and the design of the potassium ion selective electrode can be different according to the application and the required measurement range, and the components can work together, so that the potassium ion selective electrode can reliably measure the concentration of potassium ions in the solution.
As an alternative embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 2, the fat-soluble salt has the structural formula:
wherein X 1、X2、X3、X4 is one or more of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group or a haloalkyl group, Y1, Y2, Y3 and Y4 are integers of 1 to 5, and M is an alkali metal.
In particular, the fat-soluble salt represented by the above formula is a general organometallic complex in which M represents an alkali metal, and may be lithium, sodium, potassium, or the like. X1, X2, X3 and X4 represent different atoms or groups which may be substituted on the benzene ring and may be a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom (e.g., chlorine, bromine or iodine), an alkyl group (e.g., methyl, ethyl, etc.), or a haloalkyl group (e.g., chloromethyl, etc.). Y1, Y2, Y3 and Y4 represent the number of these substituents on the benzene ring and are integers from 1 to 5, and such fat-soluble salts can form complexes with potassium ions (K +) to promote the transmission of potassium ions in the selective membrane; specific organometallic complexes can be designed to preferentially interact with potassium ions, thereby increasing the electrode selectivity for potassium ions over other ions (e.g., sodium or lithium); the nature of the fat-soluble salt affects the potential response of the electrode and thus the tuning of the electrode response curve can be achieved by selecting an appropriate organometallic complex.
The particular chemical nature of such fat-soluble salts (e.g., solubility, stability, lipophilicity, etc.) will depend on the particular choice of X and Y. For example, the introduction of a halogen atom may increase the hydrophobicity of the compound, while the introduction of an alkyl group may provide some flexibility and solubility. The choice of alkali metal M (e.g., potassium) will directly affect its application in potassium ion selective electrodes.
As an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the fat-soluble salt includes one or more of potassium tetraphenylborate, potassium tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) borate, potassium tetrakis [3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl ] borate, sodium tetrakis [3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl ] borate, potassium tetrakis- (4-t-butylphenyl) borate, potassium tetrakis- (4-isopropylphenyl) borate, sodium tetrakis (4-isopropylphenyl) borate, lithium tetrakis (p-fluorophenyl) borate, or lithium tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate.
In particular, potassium tetraphenylborate is a commonly used fat-soluble salt, providing good potassium ion selectivity and stable potential response;
The potassium tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) borate and the potassium tetrakis [3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl ] borate are halogen-containing fat-soluble salts, so that the hydrophobicity is increased, and the performance of the electrode is improved in a hydrophobic environment;
Sodium tetrakis [3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl ] borate and lithium tetrakis (p-fluorophenyl) borate, salts of sodium and lithium may be used for specific applications, such as when operating within a specific potential window, or under specific ionic strength conditions;
Potassium tetrakis- (4-t-butylphenyl) borate and potassium tetrakis- (4-isopropylphenyl) borate, which lipid-soluble salts having larger alkyl substituents may increase the flexibility and mechanical stability of the electrode film;
These salts of sodium tetrakis (4-isopropylphenyl) borate and lithium tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate can provide specific potential responses suitable for electrodes operating over a wide temperature range or in environments with special requirements.
Key parameters considered in the selection of these fat-soluble salts include their solubility, stability of the potential response, and synergy with crown ether compounds. The use of these salts in the potassium ion selective electrode helps to increase the electrode selectivity to potassium ions while maintaining good potential stability and proper mechanical properties.
As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the components respectively comprise the following mass percentages: 0.1% -5% of the crown ether compound, 0.1% -5% of the fat-soluble salt, 15% -30% of the thermoplastic resin and 60% -84.8% of the plasticizer.
Specifically, crown ether compounds are used as main active components and are responsible for forming complexes with potassium ions, so the content of the crown ether compounds directly affects the sensitivity and the selectivity of an electrode, and the proportion of crown ether compounds in a selective membrane is usually low because of the high activity of the crown ether compounds and the capability of providing the required selectivity with a small mass percentage, so the mass percentage of crown ether compounds in the components is 0.1% -5%;
The fat-soluble salt enhances the selectivity of the electrode to potassium ions and participates in forming potential response, and the content of the fat-soluble salt is low, because the high concentration can cause the increase of the background potential of the selective membrane, the sensitivity of the electrode is affected, so that the mass percentage of the fat-soluble salt in the components is 0.1% -0.5%;
The thermoplastic resin provides a structural matrix for the selective membrane in an amount sufficient to ensure mechanical stability and overall strength of the selective membrane, and the thermoplastic resin accounts for 15% -30% by mass of the components in order to ensure processability and final physical properties of the potassium ion selective membrane;
The plasticizer is used for improving the flexibility of the resin, so that the potassium ion selective membrane is easier to process and apply, the high-proportion plasticizer is used for enabling the potassium ion selective membrane to have better flexibility and ductility, meanwhile, the dispersion of the crown ether compound and the fat-soluble salt in the thermoplastic resin matrix is facilitated, and the high content of the plasticizer is also facilitated for optimizing the electrochemical performance of the electrode, such as potential stability and response time, so that in the embodiment, the mass percentage of the plasticizer in the components is 60% -84.8%.
In one embodiment, the mass percentages of the components are as follows:
crown ether compound: 0.1%
Fat-soluble salts: 0.1%
Thermoplastic resin: 15%
And (3) a plasticizer: 84.8%
In this example, the content of crown ether compound and fat-soluble salt is low, and the content of thermoplastic resin and plasticizer is high. This may result in a potassium ion selective membrane that is better flexible and stable, but may sacrifice some selectivity.
In yet another embodiment, the mass percentages of the components are as follows:
Crown ether compound: 2.5%
Fat-soluble salts: 2.5%
Thermoplastic resin: 22.5%
And (3) a plasticizer: 72.5%
In this example, the contents of the components are relatively balanced. Moderate levels of crown ether compounds and fat-soluble salts can provide good ion selectivity and sensitivity, and moderate levels of thermoplastic resins and plasticizers can provide suitable film mechanical properties and stability.
As an alternative embodiment of the invention, the ratio of the fat-soluble salt to the crown ether compound is 0.01-0.5.
In the design of potassium ion selective electrodes, the molar ratio of the fat-soluble salt to the crown ether compound is one of the key factors affecting the electrode performance. This ratio determines the selectivity and sensitivity of the electrode to potassium ions, as well as the useful life of the electrode.
Specifically, the proper molar ratio can optimize the response of the electrode to the change of the concentration of potassium ions, so that the measurement is more sensitive, and the proper ratio of the fat-soluble salt and the crown ether compound is also beneficial to improving the stability of the electrode, thereby prolonging the service life of the electrode; if the amount of the fat-soluble salt exceeds the optimum molar ratio range, the electrode selectivity and sensitivity may be lowered. This is because too much of the fat-soluble salt interferes with the potassium ion coordination environment of the crown ether compound or causes phase separation in the selective membrane, thereby affecting the performance of the electrode.
Therefore, the molar ratio of the fat-soluble salt to the crown ether compound is 0.01-0.5, and sufficient combination of the fat-soluble salt and the crown ether compound can be ensured, so that the selectivity of the electrode to potassium ions is improved. This means that the electrodes are better able to distinguish potassium ions from other similar ions (such as sodium ions);
In a preferred embodiment, the ratio of the liposoluble salt to the crown ether compound is 0.02-0.4. The excess of the fat-soluble salt can interfere with the coordination of the crown ether composition with potassium ions, thereby weakening the specific binding to potassium ions, leading to the electrode also responding to other ions and reducing the selectivity; the response of the electrode to potassium ion concentration changes becomes less sensitive, requiring larger ion concentration changes to detect potential changes, and the decrease in selectivity and sensitivity accelerates degradation of the electrode performance, resulting in more frequent calibration or replacement of the electrode.
As an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the plasticizer is 30% to 300% by weight of the thermoplastic resin.
In the formulation of potassium ion selective membranes, plasticizers are added to improve the processability of the thermoplastic resin and the physical properties of the final product. Plasticizers can lower the glass transition temperature of the resin, making the material softer and more flexible at room temperature.
The greater the amount of plasticizer, the better the flexibility of the film. This is because the plasticizer molecules intercalate between the molecular chains of the resin, reducing intermolecular forces, and higher plasticizer content can reduce the melt viscosity of the resin, making the mixture easier to process into films at lower temperatures. In an embodiment of the present invention, the plasticizer is present in an amount of 30% to 300% by weight of the thermoplastic resin, allowing the proportion of plasticizer to be adjusted according to the intended use of the film-like material. For example, if a film is desired to have a relatively high flexibility, a high proportion of approximately 300% or more may be selected; if a higher mechanical strength is desired, a lower proportion, approaching 30%, may be selected. The selection of this range allows optimizing the performance of the membrane to suit different application requirements and operating conditions.
In the preparation of potassium ion selective membranes, the exact proportions of the components need to be optimized experimentally to ensure optimal performance of the membrane. These proportions may be adjusted depending on the particular application and the type of raw material used. The experimental results will determine the optimum ratio of these components to achieve high selectivity, high sensitivity, good mechanical properties and stable potential response.
As an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the molecular weight of the thermoplastic resin is between 1000 and 1000000;
In particular, when selecting thermoplastic resins for molding into films, it is critical to consider their molecular weight, and lower molecular weight thermoplastic resins are generally easier to process and shape because they soften and flow at lower temperatures. Resins with molecular weights in this range, particularly those near the lower limit, generally have lower melting points and higher flowability, making them suitable for film production; as the molecular weight increases, the mechanical strength of the resin generally increases. Higher molecular weight means more intermolecular forces between the chains, thereby improving the toughness and durability of the material. Resins with molecular weights approaching or exceeding 1000000 may exhibit excellent strength and chemical resistance, but may require higher processing temperatures.
The thermoplastic resin is selected in the molecular weight range of 1,000 to 1,000,000 to find a balance between the ease of plasticity and the mechanical strength. This ensures that the resin is easy to handle during the manufacturing process, while the resulting film has sufficient strength to withstand the stresses of practical use. The thermoplastic resin having a molecular weight of between 1,000 and 1,000,000 is selected to ensure ease of handling and shaping of the film during manufacture while exhibiting good mechanical stability and durability in use. Such a selection helps to optimize the overall performance of the film and to accommodate the needs of different application scenarios.
As an alternative embodiment of the present invention, in the potassium ion selective membrane, the crown ether compound is used in an amount of 0.1 to 40 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin;
In particular, when the amount of crown ether compound is less than 0.1 part, it may be insufficient to provide the desired potassium ion selectivity. Crown ether compounds play a key role in the selective membranes, their main function being to form stable complexes with potassium ions, thereby increasing the selectivity for potassium ions. Too low an amount may result in a decrease in the ability of the film to recognize potassium ions. When the amount of the crown ether compound exceeds 40 parts, uneven dispersion in the thermoplastic resin matrix, even precipitation, may be caused. This can disrupt the uniformity of the selective membrane, affecting its overall performance. Too much crown ether compound may not be completely dissolved in the resin matrix, resulting in uneven areas in the film, which may reduce the performance and reliability of the electrode.
In a preferred embodiment, the crown ether compound is used in an amount of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin;
The amount of crown ether compound is kept within the range of 1-10 parts, so that the membrane can be ensured to have good potassium ion selectivity, and unnecessary material waste and cost increase can be avoided. This range provides the best cost performance, ensures the performance of the membrane while taking into account economic benefits.

S1, dissolving 0.1% -5% of crown ether compound, 0.1% -5% of fat-soluble salt, 15% -30% of thermoplastic resin and 60% -84.8% of plasticizer into a preset organic solvent to obtain a mixed solution, wherein the organic solvent comprises tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, 1, 2-dichloroethane, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide, dimethyloxyamine, benzene or toluene;
Specifically, the crown ether compound, the fat-soluble salt, the thermoplastic resin and the plasticizer in the above examples are weighed into a container according to the ratio, and an appropriate organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, 1, 2-dichloroethane, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, dimethylamine, benzene or toluene is selected. These solvents may provide solubility and handleability during the preparation process; adding the pre-weighed crown ether compound, the fat-soluble salt, the thermoplastic resin and the plasticizer into an organic solvent, and stirring or heating for dissolution until a uniform mixed solution is obtained.
S2, smearing the mixed solution on the upper surface of a flat plate, and evaporating the organic solvent to obtain a potassium ion selective membrane;

Uniformly coating the mixed solution prepared in the step S1 on the upper surface of a flat plate by using a proper coating tool such as a spin coater, a scraper coater and the like, placing the mixed solution coated on the surface of the flat plate on a fume hood or a heating plate, and slowly volatilizing the mailing solvent at a preset temperature until a uniform and continuous film is formed; the preset temperature is determined according to the selected organic solvent and the solvent volatilization rate required in the preparation process, and is not particularly limited herein; during the experiment, it was possible to try to run the experiment at different temperatures, observe the film formation and select the most suitable temperature conditions.
And S3, fixing the potassium ion selective membrane on an electrode body to obtain the potassium ion selective electrode.
Specifically, a suitable electrode body is first prepared, the material of the electrode body may be glass, ceramic, metal or conductive polymer, so as to ensure that the surface of the electrode is clean, no greasy dirt or impurities are generated, the potassium ion selective membrane prepared in step S2 is fixed on the upper surface of the electrode body, the membrane can be fixed on the electrode by using an adhesive or pressure, and if necessary, the membrane fixed on the electrode can be further processed, such as baking, ultraviolet exposure and the like, so as to ensure firm combination of the membrane and the electrode.
Through the steps, the potassium ion selective electrode with good performance can be successfully prepared and used in the application of electrolyte analysis and the like.
In one embodiment, the step S3 specifically includes:
s31, cleaning the surface of the electrode body to remove impurities on the surface;
Specifically, deionized water and an organic solvent (such as ethanol or acetone) are used to thoroughly clean the electrode surface to remove impurities, greasy dirt and oxides on the surface. The purpose of this is to ensure clean electrode surfaces, reduce the effect of impurities on subsequent steps, and improve the stability and reliability of the potassium ion selective electrode.
S32, carrying out frosting treatment on the surface of the electrode body after cleaning so that the surface of the electrode body has preset roughness;
Specifically, the surface of the electrode is slightly frosted by using grinding paper or a grinding rod, the surface area and the adhesive force can be increased by roughening the surface, and the frosting treatment can adopt mechanical grinding, chemical etching or sand blasting and other methods to form a tiny concave-convex structure on the surface of the electrode, so that the surface area of the electrode can be increased, the bonding force between a potassium ion selective membrane and an electrode body can be improved, and meanwhile, the contact between the electrode and an electrolyte to be detected can be enhanced, so that the sensitivity and the response speed of the electrode can be improved; in addition, the surface roughening can form a microscopic concave-convex structure, so that the diffusion path of substances on the surface of the electrode can be increased, the transfer and exchange of the substances are promoted, and the sensing performance of the electrode is improved.
The setting of the preset roughness needs to be determined according to the material of the electrode body, and is not particularly limited herein, and the electrode bodies of different materials have different surface characteristics and properties, so that it is necessary to select an appropriate preset roughness for a specific material, for example, but not limited thereto, and if the electrode body is a metal material such as platinum, gold or carbon, a lower preset roughness is generally required because the surface of these materials itself is relatively smooth. In this case, the preset roughness may be on the order of micrometers or less. However, if the electrode body is a non-metallic material such as glassy carbon, a higher predetermined roughness may be required to ensure good bonding between the potassium ion selective membrane and the electrode body due to the relatively rough surface itself. Therefore, the setting of the preset roughness should be adjusted according to the material characteristics of the electrode body and the requirements of the subsequent process steps to ensure that the finally prepared potassium ion selective electrode has excellent performance and stability.
S33, soaking the electrode body into an activating agent, and performing chemical activation treatment, wherein the activating agent comprises one of an acidic activating agent and an alkaline activating agent, and/or an oxidizing agent;
specifically, the electrode body is immersed in an activator to perform chemical activation treatment. Chemical activation can improve the chemical property of the electrode surface, increase the density of active sites, thereby improving the electrochemical performance and stability of the electrode, the type of the activator is determined according to the material of the electrode body and the required activation effect, and acid activators such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid are suitable for the metal electrode body, can remove surface oxides or other impurities, and improve the conductivity and activity of the electrode; alkaline activators such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide are commonly used in nonmetallic electrode bodies to clean surfaces and enhance their activity. Oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate can be used for metallic and non-metallic electrode bodies, and can oxidize surface substances and change surface chemical properties, thereby improving the catalytic activity of the electrode. In selecting the activator, factors such as the material of the electrode body, the desired activation effect, and the subsequent use environment need to be considered. In addition, the conditions such as the concentration of the activator, the treatment time and the temperature are also required to be adjusted according to the specific conditions so as to achieve the optimal activation effect.
Furthermore, the activation treatment can change the charge distribution or chemical property of the electrode surface, so that the interaction between the electrode and ions to be detected is more effective and specific, and the selectivity and detection performance of the electrode are improved.

for example, but not limited to, for the potassium ion selection electrode, a functional group having a high affinity for potassium ions, such as crown ether compounds, which can form a stable coordination complex with potassium ions to achieve efficient selective recognition of potassium ions;
The self-assembled monolayer modifier may also be a sulfur-based compound, which has good metal surface binding properties and is capable of stably modifying the electrode surface.

In summary, the potassium ion-selective electrode provided in example 2 was designed to optimize the selectivity for potassium ions, meaning that it can more effectively distinguish potassium ions from other ions, such as sodium ions, in the sample. The addition of the fat-soluble salt and the thermoplastic resin increases the hydrophobicity of the membrane, which helps to prevent dissolution of the membrane in an aqueous or water-containing environment, thereby improving the durability and stability of the electrode; due to the stability of the material and the high selectivity for potassium ions, the effective lifetime of the electrode may be significantly extended, which is particularly important in case of long-term monitoring or continuous use.
Example 3
Based on the potassium ion-selective electrode of embodiment 2, embodiment 3 of the present invention also provides an electrolyte analyzer including any one of the potassium ion-selective electrodes.
Since the electrode of example 2 has high selectivity for potassium ions, it can provide accurate potassium measurement, which is critical for medical diagnosis and research requiring high-precision monitoring of potassium levels, the design of the electrode allows for rapid response to changes in potassium ions, which means that the electrolyte analyzer can monitor potassium ion concentration changes in a sample in real time; the hydrophobicity and chemical stability of the electrodes ensure reliability in long-term continuous monitoring, reducing the need for frequent replacement due to electrode damage or performance degradation.
In summary, the potassium ion carrier, the potassium ion selective electrode and the electrolyte analyzer provided by the embodiments of the present invention improve the stability and selectivity of the potassium ion selective electrode by improving the structure of the crown ether compound, especially by introducing two benzo-15 crown-5 ether units connected by a bridging unit, the size and three-dimensional structure of the benzo-15 crown-5 can be matched with the size of the potassium ion relatively well, so that it can form a complex with the potassium ion efficiently, and smaller crown ethers such as 12-crown-4, benzo-15 crown-5 are more suitable for complexing with the potassium ion because the cavity diameter thereof is closer to the optimal matching size of the potassium ion, and the benzo-15 crown-5 has higher selectivity, thereby reducing the cross response with other ions such as sodium ion;
Furthermore, the benzene ring part of the benzo-15 crown-5 increases the hydrophobicity of the whole molecule, is beneficial to improving the overall hydrophobicity of the electrode film, thereby reducing the interference of water molecules, enhancing the stability and the service life of a potassium ion selective electrode, and the chemical structure of the benzo-15 crown-5 provides higher chemical stability, so that crown ether compounds are not easy to decompose in the process of storage or use, and the stability and the reliability of the electrode are further improved;
Finally, the structure of benzo-15 crown-5 allows to further adjust its properties by introducing functional groups on the benzene ring, the potential response of crown ether compounds to potassium ions being related to the properties of the introduced functional groups, which may allow to adjust the response range and sensitivity of the electrode by selecting different groups, adapting to different measurement requirements.
