Different ways of making pH-sensing electrodes from monocrystalline or polycrystalline antimony, iridium and palladium have been investigated. Monocrystalline antimony and iridium are superior to the polycrystalline elements with respect to reproducibility between electrodes and stability of the electrode potential over long periods of time. No good palladium/palladium oxide electrode could be obtained by electrochemical oxidation and the thermal preparation method could not take advantage of the properties of the monocrystalline palladium. Therefore, only polycrystalline palladium was used to study this type of electrodes. The different electrodes were compared with respect to the manner of preparation, the pH-response (reproducibility and time response) and the effect that different complexing ligands present in the measuring solutions may have on the electrode response. Also, the redox-response of the electrodes and the effect of different oxygen pressures on the electrode potentials were studied. The monocrystalline antimony electrodes have the best reproducibility and long-term stability but also respond to complexing ligands and to variations in the oxygen pressure. Monocrystalline iridium electrodes can be obtained by continuously cycling the potential between −0.25 and +1.25 V (SCE) in 0.5M sulphuric acid. They do not respond to the complexing ligands tested, and have fairly good long-term stability, but the reproducibility between electrodes is inferior to that of the monocrystalline antimony electrodes. Polycrystalline antimony and iridium electrodes were inferior to the monocrystalline ones. The properties of the palladium electrodes were similar to those of the iridium ones. |
