I want to perform electropolymerization on 3 system carbon electrode. How to cover the reference and counter electrode? I want to make polymer only on working electrode.
Archana Archana, it depends on what monomer you are using, we used to dissolve that monomer either in 0.1 M PBS or in 0.1 M H2SO4. Normally, it won't affect our reference (Ag/AgCl) or counter electrode (Pt wire), we can just wipe it out with distilled water to remove any debris, but covering is not possible.
I would just use an external reference and counter when doing the polymerization, we do this a lot, otherwise, as you know it deposits on the counter electrode. I don't check researchgate a lot so you can find me here - https://www.zimmerpeacocktech.com/contact-support/
