How to calibrate Hg/HgO reference electrode?

11 March 2022 1 8K Report

There are several answers on how to calibrate Ag/AgCl reference electrode, is it similar to the calibration of Ag/AgCl or is there any other way to calibrate the reference electrode.

Hi Brahmari Honnappa,

We recently reported the way to check the potentials of Hg/HgO reference electrodes with different internal alkaline solutions:

I hope it can help you use the Hg/HgO electrode for your experiments!
