  2. Polarography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarography

    Heyrovský's Polarograph. Polarography is an electrochemical voltammetric technique that employs (dropping or static) mercury drop as a working electrode. In its most simple form polarography can be used to determine concentrations of electroactive species in liquids by measuring their mass-transport limiting currents.

  3. Electro-galvanic oxygen sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-galvanic_oxygen_sensor

    An electro-galvanic fuel cell is an electrochemical device which consumes a fuel to produce an electrical output by a chemical reaction. One form of electro-galvanic fuel cell based on the oxidation of lead is commonly used to measure the concentration of oxygen gas in underwater diving and medical breathing gases .

  4. Oxygen sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_sensor

    An oxygen sensor (or lambda sensor, where lambda refers to air–fuel equivalence ratio, usually denoted by λ) or probe or sond, is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O 2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed. [1] It was developed by Robert Bosch GmbH during the late 1960s under the supervision of Günter Bauman. [1]

  5. Electroanalytical methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroanalytical_methods

    A normal experiment may involve 1–10 mL solution with an analyte concentration between 1 and 10 mmol/L. More advanced voltammetric techniques can work with microliter volumes and down to nanomolar concentrations. Chemically modified electrodes are employed for the analysis of organic and inorganic samples.

  6. Voltammetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltammetry

    Voltammetry is the study of current as a function of applied potential. Voltammetric methods involve electrochemical cells, and investigate the reactions occurring at electrode/electrolyte interfaces. [4]

  7. Galvanic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_cell

    Galvanic corrosion is the electrochemical erosion of metals. Corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact with each other in the presence of an electrolyte, such as salt water. This forms a galvanic cell, with hydrogen gas forming on the more noble (less active) metal.

  8. Galvanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanism

    Galvanism: electrodes touch a frog, and the legs twitch into the upward position [1]. Galvanism is a term invented by the late 18th-century physicist and chemist Alessandro Volta to refer to the generation of electric current by chemical action. [2]

  9. Electrosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrosynthesis

    The basic setup in electrosynthesis is a galvanic cell, a potentiostat and two electrodes. Typical solvent and electrolyte combinations minimizes electrical resistance . [ 5 ] Protic conditions often use alcohol-water or dioxane -water solvent mixtures with an electrolyte such as a soluble salt , acid or base .
