Abstract:
Nearly 100 % filling of TiO2 nanotubes with metals, including Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt, was achieved by defect-sealing treatment at the bottom of the nanotubes, followed by metal deposition using nuclei formation/coalescence. The resulting short-circuit-free interdigitated electrode configurations can, for example, be used to fabricate memristive electrodes.

Electrodes: Overview
There are two main types of electrodes in electrochemical cells. The first type, known as the working or indicator electrode, has a potential that is sensitive to the analyte's concentration and reacts to changes in...

The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
An alternative to SHE is the Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). This electrode features an...
