Reference Electrode Topics

RESOURCES > REF ELECTRODES

We nearly always overlook the poor reference electrode. Yet nothing can influence our data more!

Reference Electrode Potentials. Potentials of some common reference electrodes.     A calculator for converting between reference electrodes. Which reference electrode should I use? Calomel Electrode Potential Temperature Dependence: A Calculator! The Ag/AgCl Reference Electrode. Simple to make, and robust! The Hydrogen Electrode - SHE.  The standard for potentials.  "Do I add or subtract?" How to convert from "vs. Ag/AgCl" to "vs. SCE."     A lazy man's calculator to figure it out for you! High Temperature Reference Electrodes. A few non-traditional ones. Electrode Osmide ? More information, please !

Ives & Janz is THE book on reference electrodes! Another good textbook is "Electrochemistry for Chemists" It has a fairly reasonable section on reference electrodes and it is available at The Bookstore.

 Need a reference electrode? The common ones are generally available from most potentiostat manufacturers with connectors that mate to their potentiostats. Koslow Scientific can supply specialty reference electrodes as well.
