Platinum disk electrode, 1 mm, 6*80 mm
Rp123.00
Our platinum disk electrode (PDE) is a high-precision electrochemical tool used as a working electrode in analytical chemistry. It consists of a pure platinum disk embedded in a chemically inert insulating shroud, exposing only the flat circular face to the electrolyte.
Highlights:
Wide Potential Window: It allows for a broad range of voltage sweeps without the electrode itself reacting, especially in the positive (oxidizing) range.
High Catalytic Activity: Excellent for electron transfer reactions, particularly hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction.
Inertness: It does not oxidize or dissolve in most acidic or basic plating baths, ensuring the data reflects the sample, not the electrode.
Common use:
Cyclic Voltammetry (CV): Studying the redox properties of chemicals or the efficiency of a new electrolytic tank setup.
Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE): The electrode is spun at high speeds to control the flow of ions to the surface, allowing researchers to measure the exact kinetics of the electroplating process.
Sensor Development: Used as a substrate for coating other materials (like polymers or enzymes) to create specialized medical or environmental sensors.
