Control of Interfacial Potentials and Redox Reactions on Bipolar Electrodes Using Ag/AgCl

The interfacial potential difference on the surface of bipolar electrodes was controlled by placing Ag/AgCl on part of the electrode. Oxygen reduction on the cathodic pole was coupled with an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reaction on the anodic pole. In an open bipolar system, the ECL intensity dep...

Description
Summary:The interfacial potential difference on the surface of bipolar electrodes was controlled by placing Ag/AgCl on part of the electrode. Oxygen reduction on the cathodic pole was coupled with an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reaction on the anodic pole. In an open bipolar system, the ECL intensity depended on the location of Ag/AgCl and the concentration of Cl− ions. A current flowed through Ag/AgCl and the ratio of currents generated at the anodic and cathodic poles was affected by the position of Ag/AgCl. Further, the effect of Ag/AgCl placement was also demonstrated in a closed bipolar system using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucose as analytes. Ag/AgCl was also effective in adjusting the sensitivity to these analytes to achieve the best performance. This method of interfacial potential control is expected to contribute toward the development of reliable sensing devices and applications such as redox cycling, which require precise potential control.
