Variety, Features and Shapes of Working electrodes
| Variety of Working Electrodes | Features and Applications |
|
Platinum electrode (PTE) |
Conventional electrode, which has hydrogen adsorptive wave, used for H2O2 and oxides detection |
|
Gold electrode (AUE) |
Conventional electrode, which has no hydrogen adsorption wave, used for thiols detection |
|
Glassy carbon electrode (GCE) |
Chemically stable electrode despite its relatively large over-potentials of oxygen and hydrogen evolutions |
|
Silver electrode (AGE) |
For cyanide and sulfide detection |
|
Carbon paste electrode (CPE) |
Mixed with enzyme etc. to make modified electrodes |
|
Nickel electrode (NIE) |
Chemically modified to detect amino acids |
|
Palladium electrode (PDE) |
Used to study the process of adsorption and desorption of hydrogen |
|
Plastic formed carbon electrode (PFCE) |
Its highly-oriented graphite edge is exposed to the surface with cost effective, similar feature of HOPG |
