Anodized-ITO was fabricated by anodic oxidation at room temperature, a low cost and simple manufacture process that makes it easy to control the variation in film resistance. The anodized-ITO based on EGFET structure has good linear pH sensitivity, approximately 54.44 mV/pH from pH 2 to pH 12. The proposed sodium electrodes prepared by PVC-COOH, DOS embedding colloid, and complex Na-TFBD and ionophore B12C4, show good sensitivity at 52.48 mV/decade for 10?4 M to 1 M, and 29.96 mV/decade for 10?7 M to 10?4 M. The sodium sensitivity of the differential sodium-sensing device is 58.65 mV/decade between 10?4 M and 1 M, with a corresponding linearity of 0.998; and 19.17 mV/decade between 10?5 M and 10?4 M.
