Hierarchically Structured Nanoporous Poly(Ionic Liquid) Membranes: Facile Preparation and Application in Fiber-Optic pH Sensing
Nanoporous
polyelectrolyte membranes with hierarchical and unique
pore architectures can be readily made via electrostatic complexation
between imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquid)s and poly(acrylic acid)
in a variety of morphologies. Coating the membrane onto the surface
of an optical fiber resulted in a device with high pH-sensing performance
in terms of the response rate and the sensitivity, due to the charge
and porous nature of the membrane layer
