A Gravure Printed Flexible Electrochemical Sensor for the Detection of Heavy Metal Compounds

An electrochemical sensor was fabricated on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate for the detection of cadmium sulfide (CdS), a heavy metal compound. The sensor consists of a working and reference electrode that were gravure printed using silver (Ag) ink on the PET substrate. The per...
