Simple Methods for the Preparation of Non-noble Metal Bulk-electrodes for Electrocatalytic Applications
Published on: June 21, 2017
Abstract:
The parameters of enzyme electrodes based on organic metals are presented. Cytochrome b2 (E.C. 1.1.2.3), glucose oxidase (E.C. 1.1.3.4), xanthine oxidase (E.C. 1.2.3.2) and peroxidase (E.C. 1.11.1.7) were used in electrodes sensitive to L-lactate, glucose, hypoxanthine and hydrogen peroxide. Electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH on organic metals and ethanol and acetaldehyde sensitive electrodes containing alcohol dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.1) were studied. Biocatalytic charge accumulation, the mechanism of electron exchange between the enzyme active centres and organic metals, and the future application of organic metals are discussed.

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...
Potentiometry: Types of Electrodes
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...
