Abstract:
The electrodeposition and subsequent stripping of lead and cadmium on an indium tin oxide (ITO) optically transparent electrode (OTE) were monitored by attenuated total internal reflectance. Light passing through the ITO-OTE is attenuated proportionally to the concentration of metal ion and deposition time. The wavelength dependence of the optical responses of deposited Pb and Cd was determined; optimal performance based on maximum sensor absorbance was at 750 nm for Pb and at 400 nm for Cd. Calibration curves were obtained over a range of 5 x 10(-8) to 5 x 10(-5) M and 1 x 10(-9) to 1 x 10(-5) M for Pb and Cd, respectively, using change in absorbance that accompanied deposition and subsequent stripping of the electrodeposited metal from the ITO.
