They are modified with an 4-azidoaniline via diazonium reduction. Should they be stored in some solution in order to protect the azide group? Is the azide group stable in time if the electrode is kept in air?
These type of electrodes can be better stored in Nitrogen atmosphere because azide grups are prone to be affected if the electrode is kept in oxygen atmosphere. Generally whenever we have to carry out some electrochemical measurements, we try to flush out oxygen and then carry out the measurements.
