Abstract: This research proposed the real-time detection of nitrite by employing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique incorporating an interdigital capacitive sensor. A self-assembled monolayer functionalized the sensing surface with embedded ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) with selectivity for nitrite ions were introduced. Syntheis and characterization of IIP are also explained to validate the polymerization technique. Some initial results using different concentrations of nitrite sample to validate the proposed method are also presented. The promising results highlight the extraordinary potential to develop low-cost, in-situ measurement system to detect nitrite contamination with real-time monitoring
