Plasma Electrochemistry: Development of a Reference Electrode Material for High Temperature Plasma
TLDR
The electrode is constructed by careful assessment of different metal/metal oxide materials and operational stability in flame electrolyte medium to enable reliable dynamic electrochemistry investigations into redox reactions at the solid/gas interface, free of any solvent defined potential window restrictions.
Recent Advances in Electroanalysis of Organic Compounds at Carbon Paste Electrodes
