Handbook of Reference Electrodes

This book offers in-depth information and data for proper choice and construction of reference electrodes, covering applications such as aqueous and non-aqueous solutions, ionic liquids, glass melts and membrane electrodes. Illustrated with some 200 figures.

Reference Electrodes are a crucial part of any electrochemical system, yet an up-to-date and comprehensive handbook is long overdue. Here, an experienced team of electrochemists provides an in-depth source of information and data for the proper choice and construction of reference electrodes. This includes all kinds of applications such as aqueous and non-aqueous solutions, ionic liquids, glass melts, solid electrolyte systems, and membrane electrodes. Advanced technologies such as miniaturized, conducting-polymer-based, screen-printed or disposable reference electrodes are also covered. Essential know-how is clearly presented and illustrated with almost 200 figures.

The only handbook on this topic Provides reliable data for the proper choice and construction of reference electrodes for all kinds of electrochemical systems Clear and illustrated presentation of the required basic know-how Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
