Abstract
Recently, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with gold electr ode has been used extensively to elucidate the detailed mechanism duri ng the electrochemical reaction through mass changes. Because of the f ormation of mercury amalgam, a large frequency fluctuation prevents th is technique with mercury on gold from its application to measure mass changes due to adsorption or/and desorption of organic compounds. Ele ctrochemical study of MR19 and MR19-Tb3+ ion was successfully demonstr ated at Hg film on gold and Hg film on polypyrrole layer which was for med on gold by potentiostatic method.
