PROMISING NEW SOLID-STATE REFERENCE ELECTRODE

A solid-state reference electrode has been constructed and tested. Exp eriments have shown that the reference electrode gives a negligible an d constant contribution to the measured EMF. The solid-state reference electrode was used as a reference electrode for an Orion Fluoride (F- ) selective electrode. This cell behaves satisfactorily compared to an Orion F--combination electrode. The first promising progress has ther efore been made toward realization of a new solid-state reference elec trode.
