The polished precipitate electrode: A new voltammetric method with the solid electrode

A new surface-renewal technique at the solid electrode has been developed, based on continuous polishing. Well-defined and reproducible current-voltage curves similar to those obtained in polarography are given by the "polished precipitate electrode" (PPE). The method can be used for the continuous determination of electroactive substances and for the study of electrode reaction mechanisms at the solid-liquid interface.
