Can we use another working electrode for SWASV, instead of thin film mercury electrode?

03 March 2018 0 546 Report

Usually dropping mercury electrode or Hg modified GCE is used for stripping voltammetry, since it is a conventional or standard process, therefore is it possible to use GCE modified by some other active material, like thin film of nanocatalysts?
