Carbon Fiber Microelectrodes as Substrates for Mercury Films.

Abstract

Conditions for mercury deposition at cylindrical carbon fiber microelectrodes were examined and presented together with a new construction of electrodes were examined and presented together with a new construction of electrode body and the manner in which the fiber is held. Data obtained in KSCN and acetate buffer solutions suggest that in order to obtain linear dependence of square wave stripping peak vs. mercury concentration the amount of the deposit should not exceed few monolayers. This could be caused by surface inhomogeneity as confirmed by electron microscopy and by the limited amount of mercury that can be quantitatively deposited at the surface. Several remarks on lead deposition in situ are also given.
