Three-electrode electrochemical cell

The experimental setup included a three-electrode electrochemical cell with a liquid contact membrane electrode in which the internal Ag/AgCl electrode acted as a working electrode connected to a potentiostat/galvanostat. The instrument was capable of switching rapidly between potentiostatic and galvanostatic modes [51].

In general, to compensate for larger IR drops, a three-electrode setup is used Most of the current I is passed between (i) the working electrode (WE) and (ii) an auxiliary electrode or counter electrode (CE), between which most of the IR drop will occur. The potential is monitored between WE and (iii) a reference electrode (RE), which draws very little current it is most often an NHE, or a standard calomel electrode (Hg Hg2Cl21KC1), or an Ag AgN03 electrode. A hopefully small fraction of the overall internal resistance, known as the "uncompensated" resistance Ru, will still be present between WE and RE the goal is to make Ru/R tolerably small. Figure 6.9 shows the symbols used for three-electrode electrochemical cells.

The electrochemical potential of the working electrode, can be controlled with respect to a reference potential by use of a three-electrode electrochemical cell. One can then measure the rate of electrochemical electron transfer (by the current density j in the external circuit) as a function of the deviation from equilibrium, — p. ...

A three-electrode electrochemical cell was specifically designed for our in situ microradiography tests. The cell was machined in Teflon and had two windows with adjustable positions to control the solution thickness. A 5 mm thick solution was selected so as to avoid unnecessarily excessive x-ray absorption by the electrolyte while providing an adequate space for ramified growth. The distance between the cathode and the anode was adjusted to 10 mm.

Kinetics of electrochemical processes in the electrode-coating-electrolyte systems has been examined by the potentiostatic method within the 4V exponentiation range. The samples were polarized in a three-electrode electrochemical cell installed with a thermostat to maintain a constant temperature regime. The working electrode was a sample in the form of a metal (or graphite) plate with a one-sided coating.

As an example of a practical situation where the instrument has been used, the study of an electrically conductive polymer, poly(3-octylthiophene), is representative. This polymer is electrochemically polymerized on a Pt-disc, which then is used as a working electrode in a conventional three-electrode electrochemical cell. In this example glassy-carbon was used as an auxiliary electrode, while the reference electrode was a Ag/AgCl (3M KCl). The supporting electrolyte was 0.1 M LiBF4 in propylene carbonate.
