Abstract

Bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) are described as selective and sensitive electrochemical transducers for inorganic ions and organic species. The electrostatic properties of BLMs, which are significant in controlling ion permeation processes, and the possible mechanisms for signal generation are presented herein. Operation of a BLM‐based transducer hinges on a selective interaction between analyte in aqueous solution and membrane‐embedded receptors; as a result, the electrostatic fields and/or the physical phase structure of the membrane alters, leading to an analytical signal (most commonly conductivity changes) which can be related to the analyte concentration. Examples of electrochemical sensors based on this principle and efforts to stabilize these bilayer membranes are presented in this review article.
