Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy applied to samples of water with microplastics

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers measured electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) signatures of PET and expanded polystyrene microplastics across three size classes in water matrices of increasing complexity, generating a reference dataset to support machine learning-based microplastic identification using an electronic tongue.

Microplastic data were collected for two material types: PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) in sizes of 500, 1000, and 1500 micrometers. Measurements were performed using an electronic tongue and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Each sample consist on 500 c.c. of water and 1.4 g of each material according to the following description: (i) Water. (ii) Water with inert organic matter. (iii) Water with inert organic matter plus inorganic matter. (iiii) Water with inert organic matter plus inorganic matter and organic matter. Conventions: Wt: Water Mp: Microplastic. IOM: Inert organic matter. INM: Inorganic matter. LOM: Living organic matter File water.xlsx includes the baseline (only water) and the folders PET.zip and ESP.zip inclides the data for PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) respectively.

Protocol for low-cost quantification of microplastics through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy from aqueous matrices

AI summary Read the abstract

Most methods for detecting microplastics in water require expensive equipment or time-consuming laboratory steps. This study presents a simple protocol using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) — measuring how microplastics change the electrical resistance of a solution — to rapidly and cheaply quantify plastic particles in water samples. Validated against conventional optical methods, the approach could make routine microplastic monitoring more affordable and accessible, particularly for lower-resource settings or high-throughput screening applications.
