Abstract
The current interruption method is used to determine the equilibrium potential of the Cl2/Cl− redox couple, and the theory behind the measurement is discussed. Different AgCl/Ag reference electrodes are prepared and calibrated by measuring the equilibrium potential of Cl2/Cl− redox couple. Cyclic voltammograms against the different AgCl/Ag reference electrodes before and after calibration in pure lithium chloride are reported, showing good agreement with thermodynamic calculations.
期刊介绍:
Electrochemistry Communications is an open access journal providing fast dissemination of short communications, full communications and mini reviews covering the whole field of electrochemistry which merit urgent publication. Short communications are limited to a maximum of 20,000 characters (including spaces) while full communications and mini reviews are limited to 25,000 characters (including spaces). Supplementary information is permitted for full communications and mini reviews but not for short communications. We aim to be the fastest journal in electrochemistry for these types of papers.
