Optimization of mercury thin film electrodes for sono-ASV studies

Journal article

The feasibility of using Nafion-coated mercury thin film electrodes on glassy carbon, iridium and platinum as substrates for anodic stripping voltammetric determination of cadmium and lead in the presence of ultrasound is examined. Glassy carbon was found to be the most appropriate substrate material for these electrodes. Nafion-coated glassy carbon mercury thin film electrodes, NCGCMFE's, were mechanically resistant under sonication, as shown by AFM imaging. These electrodes showed higher se...
