Handbook of Reference Electrodes [Hardcover]

Reference Electrodes are a crucial part of any electrochemical system, yet an up-to-date and comprehensive handbook is long overdue.?Here, an experienced team of electrochemists provides an in-depth source of information and data for the proper choice and construction of reference electrodes. This includes all kinds of applications such as aqueous and non-aqueous solutions, ionic liquids, glass melts, solid electrolyte systems, and membrane electrodes. Advanced technologies such as miniaturized, conducting-polymer-based, screen-printed or disposable reference electrodes are also covered. Essential know-how is clearly presented and illustrated with almost 200 figures.This book offers in-depth information and data for proper choice and construction of reference electrodes, covering applications such as aqueous and non-aqueous solutions, ionic liquids, glass melts and membrane electrodes. Illustrated with some 200 figures.
