Abstract

We investigated a pH sensor using an Indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticle (NP) film printed on a flexible substrate. First, the printing precision and mechanical stability of the ITO-printed film were investigated. In particular, the factors that influence the crystallinity of ITO films were studied using X-ray diffraction pattern analysis. The response of the ITO pH sensor was calibrated using a series of standard pH solutions (pH 3-11). The pH values of various specimens were measured using an ITO pH sensor, and the results were compared with those of various pH measurement methods. As a result of the experiment, the maximum error was approximately ± 0.04 pH (0.4 %) at pH 9, which indicated that the ITO pH sensor is highly suitable for pH measurement. Finally, we used the ITO pH sensor to the measure of general specimens such as solvents and beverages and compared the results in comparison with those obtained from several conventional methods.
