DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Prior Art and Problems] As conventional reference electrodes, hydrogen electrodes, mercury-calomel electrodes, silver/silver chloride electrodes, etc. have been used. Currently, miniaturization of reference electrodes is strongly desired from the viewpoint of bioinstrumentation and measurement of trace samples.However, since all of these reference electrodes require an internal liquid, they cannot be used as standard electrodes while having sufficient performance. There are limits to miniaturization of electrodes. Another problem was that the internal fluid leaked. To solve these problems, reference electrodes in which the electrode is coated with a polymer compound have been proposed, but these do not form a dense polymer film and have poor long-term stability. There was a problem.

To explain the chemically stable crystalline coating in the present invention, when the conductive electrode substrate is titanium and the crystalline coating is SiO 2 , first, a SiO 2 coating is formed on the titanium electrode. As this method, a method in which a metal alkoxide solution is applied and then hydrolyzed, a sputtering method, or a vapor deposition method can be used. After this, titanium oxide is formed on the surface of the titanium electrode by heat treatment at around 1000℃ in the presence of a trace amount of oxygen.
The SiO 2 film changes into a film consisting of an aggregate of SiO 2 microcrystals.

Attach lead wires to the electrodes created in this way,
The characteristics of a reference electrode whose connection part was covered with an insulating resin were investigated. As sample solutions for measurement, commercially available standard buffer solutions were used in the case of pH, and each standard solution was adjusted in the case of Na + and K + concentrations. Electromotive force was measured using a commercially available silver/silver chloride electrode as a reference electrode. The relationship between the electromotive force and each ion concentration is shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. It was found that the sensor of the present invention has a substantially constant value in the vicinity of omV with respect to the silver/silver chloride electrode, has an extremely fast response speed of several seconds, and can function satisfactorily as a reference electrode. Furthermore, even after being immersed in pure water for two months, there was almost no change in electromotive force, indicating that it could withstand sufficient long-term use.
