Abstract
Key findings
- The sensor showed a high sensitivity and selectivity for nitrate detection, with a detection limit of 0.1 mM.
- The sensor's performance was stable over 30 days of continuous operation, with minimal drift in response.
- The sensor was successfully used to detect nitrates in wastewater and environmental water samples, with good agreement with reference methods.
