Definitions

  • the present invention relates to reference electrodes which are used in electrochemical reactions. More particularly, the invention relates to Ag/AgCl (Silver/Silver Chloride) electrodes, and a method for making such electrode.
  • Ag/AgCl Tin/Silver Chloride
  • Ag/AgCl (Silver/Silver Chloride) electrode is a type of reference electrode commonly used in electrochemical systems such as a pH meter. It consists of a rigid structure with porous bottom part, such as porous glass, and filled with a solution such as potassium halide, saturated in a silver chloride solution. A silver wire is mounted in the rigid structure, and in contact with the filing solution. The structure's porous surface physically separates the filling and testing solution, but enables ton exchange between the solutions.
  • Good desirable Ag/AgCl reference electrode has to be stable regardless of pH change or other ionic activity in the testing solution and requires only minor maintenance in field applications.
  • Ag/AgCl electrode is sensitive to halide ions such as chloride ions which will influence the accuracy of potential measurements.
  • the filling solution of currently manufactured Ag/AgCl electrode is in liquid form which promotes leaching of chloride ions into the testing solution and contaminates the testing solution, which thus affects the measurements. Prolonged usage may reduce the Ag/AgCl electrode's life time.
  • the electrode should be stable regardless of pH change or other ionic activity in the test solution.
  • the present invention provides an Ag/AgCI electrode which has a buffer layer between filling solution and testing solution to overcome the influences of undesirable chemical reaction to potential measurement.

  • All components in the Ag/AgCI electrode are in solid form of salt mixture. Such solids reduce the contamination of testing solution through leaching of ions such as chloride and thus prolong the life time of electrode.
  • a silver layer is applied to the rigid structure and the wire is mounted by epoxy.
  • the electrolyte paste is a mixture of silver chloride and potassium halide in 1:1 ratio and glycerol with deionised water in 1 :1 ratio. The mixture is well mixed until homogeneous paste is achieved. The electrolyte paste is gently packed to the structure to avoid air bubbles trapped inside the paste. Excess water is removed from the paste surface with tissue. TwoDlitres of cellulose acetate solution in tetrahydrofuran water is added into the structure and is allowed to dry for 15 minutes. Two litres of cellulose acetate solution is added again and is allowed to dry for 1 hour.
  • Buffer paste is a mixture of 2g lithium acetate and glycerol and deionised water in 1 :1 ratio. 37% high weight PVC, 60% diethyl sebacate plasticizer and 3% of lithium acetate is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran by sonication over 1 hour for polymeric membrane.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une électrode de référence en Ag/AgCI [10] comprenant une structure creuse rigide [12] à l'intérieur de laquelle sont formées une couche d'argent [14] telle qu'une pâte d'argent reliée à un fil d'argent [16], une couche d'électrolyte [18] telle qu'un halogénure de potassium saturé en chlorure d'argent, sur la couche d'argent [14], une couche poreuse [20] telle que de l'acétate de cellulose est formée sur la couche d'électrolyte [18] pour séparer physiquement la couche d'électrolyte par une couche tampon [22] sur la couche poreuse [20], et une membrane polymère [24] telle que du PVC est utilisée pour sceller le tube rigide [12]. La couche tampon [22] est utilisée pour conserver la stabilité des réactions chimiques sensibles au pH sur l'électrode et conserver ainsi la précision de l'électrode d'Ag/AgCI [10]. Tous les constituants sont sous la forme solide d'un mélange de sel afin de prolonger la durée de vie de l'électrode.
