Novel construction of renewable silver amalgam film electrode for voltammetric analysis

Publication at Faculty of Science |

Abstract

This contribution outlines a development of a novel type of renewable silver amalgam film electrode. The electrode design is based on a previously published construction; however, it has been modified using a common retractable pen as a foundation of the electrode which also functions as a refreshing mechanism of amalgam film.

We propose this electrode as a simple, inexpensive to construct and easily refreshable mercury-based electrochemical sensor for determination of organic pollutants.
