Stainless steel charging electrode

There are two main varieties of bulk conductivity detectors contact and contactless. In a contact conductivity detector, the electrodes contact the column effluent directly. The electrodes are usually made of stainless steel, platinum, or gold in order to minimize electrochemical reactions, but they are still subject to fouling over time. In the absence of electrochemical reactions, there is no charge transfer between the solution and the electrodes, so the conductivity measurement is made with an oscillating or alternating voltage. 

Current was delivered to the membranes through silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes for iontophoresis, whereas stainless steel electrodes were employed for electroporation studies. Of the two model compounds, L-glutamic acid carries a net negative charge of 1 at pH 7.4, whereas estradiol is nonionized. Hence, they were delivered under the cathode and anode, respectively. 

So far, the ionic conductivity of most ILs has been measured by the complex impedance method [116], In this method, charge transfer between carrier ions and electrode is not necessary. Therefore platinum and stainless steel are frequently used as blocking electrodes. However, it is often difficult to distinguish the resistance and dielectric properties from Nyquist plots obtained by the impedance measurement. In order to clarify this, additional measurements using non-blocking electrodes or DC polarization measurement are needed. 

The Rb based on the sample cannot be calculated correctly, since the electric charge transfer resistance and the electric double layer in an electrode interface are also detected as a resistance, even if bias voltage is impressed to the measurement cell in order to measure the ionic conductivity. For the ionic conductivity measurement, a dc four-probe method, or the complex-impedance method, is used to separate sample bulk and electrode interface [4]. In particular, the complex-impedance method has the advantage that it can be performed with both nonblocking electrodes (the same element for carrier ion and metal M) and blocking electrodes (usually platinum and stainless steel were used where charge cannot be transferred between the electrode and carrier ions). The two-probe cell, where the sample is sandwiched between two pohshed and washed parallel flat electrodes, is used in the ionic conductivity measurement by complex-impedance method as shown in Figure 6.1. 

An important application field for stainless steel fibers is the textile sector, in which 0., i to 6% of these fibers are incorporated to endow carpets, protective clothing etc. with an antistatic finish. A further application is protection against electromagnetic pulses, interference and charging. Tungsten fibers with a diameter of 12 pm are used for boron or SiC deposition and as light bulb filaments. Furthermore, metal fibers are used in the filtration of polymer melts and corrosive liquids, as well as for electrodes with high surface areas. 

The reference electrodes employed were either a SCE or a Ag/3M NaCI (aq) electrode. The reference electrode was usually separated from the bulk electrolyte by a sintered glass-irit arrangement The films were deposited on either gold-plated stainless steel or platinum electrodes and growth was terminated when a fixed charge had been passed. The films were then peeled from the electrode, rinsed thoroughly and dried All films were dried prior to elemental analysis at 120°C in dynamic vacuum for 24 hours.
