Notes:
Lanthanum fluoride and cerium fluoride single crystals, used as the sensing membranes of the fluoride ion-selective electrode (F-ISE), were investigated for their hydroxide interference and surface reactions with OH- in high pH conditions. While these membranes show fast response and excellent Nernstian behavior over a wide concertration range in buffered F- solutions, they deviate from the theoretical slope at high pH. CeF3, in particular, exhibits a much larger deviation from the Nernstian slope and a substantially slower response to a F- activity change compared to LaF3. This larger deviation is due to more extensive and faster formation of hydroxo-complexes, with the release of a greater amount of the fluoride ion into the hydrated gel layer. The slower response of the CeF3 membrane after contact with OH- is due to the formation of CeIV oxide on the surface, which acts as a blocking layer to the exchange of F-.
