Abstract
The release and escape of radioactive materials has posed tremendous threats to the global environment. Among various radioactive elements, 90Sr has attracted growing attention due to its long half-life and its tendency to accumulate in bone tissue. Nonetheless, the concentration of 90Sr in radioactive waste is exceedingly low, far below the detection limits of currently available strontium-targeting chemical sensors. Herein, we propose an optical nanosensor (Sr2+-nanosensor) that exhibits an ultra-low detection limit of 0.5 nM, surpassing the 90Sr in the treated radioactive water from the Fukushima. The sensor offers wide sensing range of eight orders of magnitude, rapid response of less than 10 s, and high selectivity against 31 common ions. These excellent performances are attributed to a specific ligand (Sr2+-ligand) for Sr2+ recognition. The Sr2+ is found to be bound by six oxygen atoms from the Sr2+-ligand with a stability constant at least two orders higher than that of other traditional ligands. This study offers invaluable insights for the design of Sr2+-sensing methodologies as well as a technique for detecting trace amounts of environmental radioactive pollution.

Abstract
Lead is a particularly toxic heavy metal that is present above acceptable levels in the water of many countries. This article describes a quick detection method of lead(II) ions using a polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based ion-selective membrane electrode containing an acridono-crown ether ionophore by potentiometry. The electrochemical cell exhibits a Nernstian response for lead(II) ions between the concentration range of 10−4 to 10−2 M, and can be used in the pH range of 4⁻7. The applicability of this sensor was verified by measuring a multicomponent aqueous sample. Under the given conditions, this electrode is suitable for the selective quantitative analysis of lead(II) ions in the presence of many additional metal ions.

Abstract
Eight different recently synthesized macrocyclic diamides were studied to characterize their abilities as strontium ion carriers in PVC membrane electrodes. The electrode based on 1,13-diaza-2,3;11,12-dibenzo-4,7,10-trioxacyclopentadecane-14,15-dione exhibits a Nernstian response for Sr(2+) ions over a wide concentration range (1.0 × 10(-)(1)-3.2 × 10(-)(5) M) with a limit of detection of 8.0 × 10(-)(6) M (0.7 ppm). The response time of the sensor is ∼10 s, and the membrane can be used for more than three months without observing any deviation. The electrode revealed comparatively good selectivities with respect to many alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metal ions. It was used as an indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of carbonate ions with a strontium ion solution.

Abstract
Two-dimensional real-time observation of potassium ion distributions was achieved using an ion imaging device based on charge-coupled device (CCD) and metal-oxide semiconductor technologies, and an ion selective membrane. The CCD potassium ion image sensor was equipped with an array of 32 × 32 pixels (1024 pixels). It could record five frames per second with an area of 4.16 × 4.16 mm(2). Potassium ion images were produced instantly. The leaching of potassium ion from a 3.3 M KCl Ag/AgCl reference electrode was dynamically monitored in aqueous solution. The potassium ion selective membrane on the semiconductor consisted of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with bis(benzo-15-crown-5). The addition of a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane to the plasticized PVC membrane greatly improved adhesion of the membrane onto Si(3)N(4) of the semiconductor surface, and the potential response was stabilized. The potential response was linear from 10(-2) to 10(-5) M logarithmic concentration of potassium ion. The selectivity coefficients were K(K(+),Li(+))(pot) = 10(-2.85), K(K(+),Na(+))(pot) = 10(-2.30), K(K(+),Rb(+))(pot) =10(-1.16), and K(K(+),Cs(+))(pot) = 10(-2.05).

The influences of the nature of the plasticizers (DBA, CN, DOP, NPOE) and of the anion excluder (NaTPB) on the characteristics of the electrode were discussed. The best electrode was fabricated with a membrane having composition 6:150:170:3 (I:PVC:DBA:NaTPB). The response to Sr2+ was Nernstian in the range 1.9 x 10(-5) to 1.0 x 10(-1) M of Sr2+. The influence of pH has also been studied. The electrode exhibited better potential stability and had an operational lifetime of 4 months. The K(A,B)(Pot) values showed that other alkaline earth metal ions are well discriminated. The sensor has also been used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of sodium carbonate with strontium(II) ions.

Abstract
The performance of octahydroxycalix[4]arene derivative used as a neutral carrier for silver polymeric membrane electrode was studied. The sensor gave a good Nernstian response of 58 +/- 1 mV per decade for silver ion in the activity range 3.3 x 10(-6) to 3.3 x 10(-2) M Ag+. The limit of detection reached 2.1 x 10(-6) M Ag+ and exhibited high selectivity for silver ion against the alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal ions. The sensor can be used in wide pH range from 1.5 to 6.5. The response time of the sensor is less than 20 s. The potentiometric sensor was used as the indicator electrode in the titration of Ag+ ions by sodium chloride solution.

Abstract
A coated-wire ion-selective electrode (ISE) based on cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) as a neutral carrier in a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix was fabricated for the determination of Ag(I) ions. The coated-wire ISE exhibited a linear Nernstian response over the range 1 x 10(-1) to 1 x 10(-7) M with a slope of 59 +/- 2 mV per decade change and a detection limit of 5 x 10(-8) M. The ISE shows a greater preference for Ag over other cations with good precision. The electrode was selective towards Ag(I) ions in the presence of 13 different metal ions tested. The selectivity coefficients (K(ij)) were determined for Na(I), K(I), Mg(II), Ca(II), Ba(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Hg(II). The selectivity coefficients of these cations are in the range of 10(-4) to 10(-2). This ISE was used for the determination of free silver and total silver in electroplating bath solutions, additives and brighteners.

Abstract
Therapeutic lithium levels in the treatment of manic depressive psychosis must be maintained in the range of 0.5-1.5 mM in the blood, which also contains 140 mM sodium. This paper reviews spectrophotometric, fluorometric, and ion-selective electrode (ISE) reagents and methods for achieving high lithium selectivity over sodium and their use in blood lithium measurement. These include aromatic organic reagents, crown ethers and amide ionophores. Crown ethers and cryptands provide the best lithium selectivity. A chromophoric small-cavity cryptand phenol exhibits greater than 4000:1 selectivity due to rigid configuration of a well preorganized binding site for lithium complexation. It is water soluble, making it easy to apply for blood analysis. Crown ethers with bulky groups inhibit formation of the 2:1 crown:sodium complex, while allowing formation of the 1:1 lithium complex. A PTM 14-crown-4 having a bulky pinane and subunits at the ethano bridge exhibits at least 10,000:1 selectivity for lithium in a flow-through optical sensor probe. Bulky crown ethers used in PVC membrane ion-selective electrodes exhibit lithium selectivities of 1-2000:1. Methods of evaluating selectivities are discussed, along with the correlation of solvent extraction of crown ether complexes and solvent membrane ISE selectivities.
