Abstract 
Background and Objective: Silver is a toxic heavy metal that is used in various industries and has adverse effects on both human health and the environment. In this respect its determination with sensitive and economic analytical methods is of great importance.
Materials and Methods: In this research, a novel ion selective electrode based on perphenazine as an ionophore was developed for determination of Ag+. The optimum composition that showed the highest sensitivity was constructed by mixing 9% ionophore, 2% NaTPB as ionic additive, 59% DOP as the plasticizer and 30% PVC.
Results: The designed sensor showed a linear response over the concentration range of 1×10-6-1×10-2 M with the slope of 60.3 mV/Decade. The detection limit of the electrode was obtained 9×10-7 M. The response time and lifetime of the proposed sensor were 5 seconds and 10 weeks, respectively. The selectivity of electrode was evaluated by matched potential method and no serious interference was observed.
Conclusion: In the end, the sensor applicability in determination of Ag+ in three waste water specimens as real samples was evaluated and the good agreement between the results of sensor and the results of flame atomic absorption spectroscopy showed the designed electrode has enough accuracy and it can be used for determination of Ag (I) in the aqueous environmental samples. In conclusion, finally the performance of the prepared sensor in determining the amount of silver ions in three effluent samples was evaluated as the real samples. The results were in good agreement with those obtained by flame atomic absorption method which indicates that the designed sensor can be successfully employed in the accurate determination of silver (I) in environmental aqueous samples.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Cadmium is a potential environmental contaminant that causes adverse effects on the environment and the health of living organisms. Therefore, designing a simple and economic technique for its determination is very important. In this respect, a potentiometric sensor based on nefazodone as the ionophore and [BMIM]PF6 as the ionic additive were developed for the determination of ultra-trace amounts of cadmium (II),.
Materials and Methods: In this study, a new membrane ion selective electrode was constructed with a composition entailed of 10% nefazodone, 2% [BMIM]PF6, 30% PVC and 58% dioctyl phthalate (DOP).The created potential discrepancy between the membrane and reference electrodes was used as a signal which demonstrates a direct relationship with the logarithmic concentration of cadmium (II) for  its determination.
Results: The constructed sensor showed an appropriate Nernstian slope (30.5 mV. Decade-1) in a wide concentration range (1×10-9 - 8×10-2 M) with the detection limit of 6×10-9 M. The electrode potential was pH-independent in the range of 3.5-8.0. The response time and lifetime of the electrode obtained 5 s and 15 weeks, respectively.
Conclusion: The constructed sensor independent of sample preparation was employed successively for the measurement of low concentrations of cadmium (II) in the environmental samples .Moreover,  the obtained findings were in a good agreement with the results of flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. Therefore, the designed electrode established pinpoint accuracy and it can be used for the determination of cadmium (II) in aqueous samples.
