Polished Silver Solid Amalgam Electrode: Further Characterization and Applications in Voltammetric Measurements

Abstract

Polished silver solid amalgam electrode (p‐AgSAE) appears to be a good alternative to hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). The present work focuses on analysis of the electrode material and of the working electrode surface. It has been demonstrated that this electrode can be successfully used in inorganic electrochemical measurements for determination of metal cations, nitrates, and thiocyanates, etc.
