Abstract

Nitrite (NO2ˉ) is an essential compound present in various processes in nature, which ranges from environmental to biological systems. It is widely used in both food and chemical industry, and even in the production of medicines. However, the excess of NO2ˉ can cause severe damage to both the environment and human health. With this concern, this work presents a novel and easy to produce platform, entirely projected and constructed by additive manufacturing, rising a miniaturized and portable electrochemical system for the determination of NO2ˉ in water and synthetic saliva samples. The set of three electrodes was easily obtained by fused deposition modeling, using a carbon black-based filament feeding the 3D printer. The surface of the electrochemical sensors was treated to expose conductive particles and enhance their electrochemical performance. The differential-pulse voltammetry technique was meticulously chosen and fully optimized using multivariate methods to achieve the best operational conditions for the NO2ˉ determination. The proposed method presented a linear dynamic range from 5.0 to 500.0 µmol L⁻¹, with a limit of detection of 1.8 µmol L⁻¹. Besides, interference tests demonstrated a good selectivity of the method. Recovery values close to 100 % for water and simulated saliva samples demonstrate the applicability of the developed method. In this context, the 3D-printed electrochemical device becomes a potential alternative for the on-site, reliable, and fast determination of NO2ˉ.
