The sensing film is based on the dye platinum octaethylporphyrin complex immobilised in a polystyrene membrane and stabilised with the heterocyclic amine DABCO. In this report, we study the feasibility of using photodiodes as elements to be coated by this oxygen sensing film with the aim of obtaining a sensing device whose small size makes it possible to embed it into a portable measurement system. In addition to the concomitant sensor miniaturisation, several advantages have been demonstrated such as fast response, low energy consumption, the lack of any need for optical filter elements and less tendency to photobleaching than with previous configurations. A complete study of the coated photodetector preparation was carried out in order to optimise the specifications of the portable instrument where the photodetector is included, such as: repeatability, transient response and selectivity. We propose a preparation procedure for coating photodetectors with this film that has demonstrated the capacity to produce repetitive and reliable sensing devices. |
