The invention discloses a method using three-dimensional photonic crystals to measure potential of
hydrogen (pH), and relates to a method for measuring a pH valve of solution. The method using the three-dimensional photonic crystals to measure the pH aims to solve the problem that when used for measuring the pH, an existing method is not high in accuracy, and not good in stability. The method using the three-dimensional photonic crystals to measure the pH comprises a first step of adding
methacrylic acid and vinyl
benzene to
ultrapure water, adjusting and extracting the pH, adding
potassium persulfate and carrying out stirring in an even mode, a second step of adding
ultrapure water to adjust
volume fraction of the solution, and placing the solution into a constant temperature box, carrying out deposition and obtaining a
photonic crystal film, a third step of placing the
photonic crystal film into solution with different pH values, sequentially measuring reflection spectral curves of the
photonic crystal film and matching a relation curve of the
wavelength of the wave peak position of the reflected light of a pH value and the photonic
crystal film, and a fourth step of soaking the photonic
crystal film in the solution to be measured, measuring a curve of reflectance spectrum, and inferring the pH valve of the to-be-measured solution. A device, used for preparing the photonic
crystal film, of the method is simple, the film can be repeatedly used, a measured value of the pH is accurate, a measured numerical value is stable, and the method using the three-dimensional photonic crystals to measure the pH is mainly used for measurement of the pH of the solution.
