For measuring the electrical properties of Bismuth oxide, is it advisable to use silver conducting wires? or platinum is the only option?

06 November 2017 1 297 Report

Bismuth reacts with Pt. But Pt wires are used as mentioned in the literature. Has anyone tried using Silver wires and conductive ink for measuring conductivity of bismuth based compounds?

Kishore Kumar.M

Thanks for the comment Dr Artur. I have silver wires. But I do not want to waste them. In literature I am seeing only platinum wires being used. If anyone has used silver wires, I can go ahead with silver wires.
