i had only one CE which i was using for cv ,that accidently broke ....i actually want to ask that can i use the same wire by just attaching the connections to the pt wire directly ???? wouldnot it affect my cv results ??
Assuming that the same are of the CE will be immersed in the electrolyte, the CV will not be affected (you might want to remember that neither the CE potential or current are recorded in standard electrochemical analysis methods). Frankly, even using a Pt wire coil as a CE is completely acceptable.
The important part is that the area of the CE immersed in the electrolyte should be significantly larger than that of the WE. As long as this condition is met (and you are still using Pt), you should see no distortion of your CVs.

In order to keep high the Pt (-CE's) area of the CE (immersed in the electrolyte), you might be interested to join your broken Pt-CE using a low cost Jewelry welding machine[1,2], better, and if possible, in an Argon filled atmosphere Glove Box.

There will be no effect on the CV, even if u use only Pt wire directly.
thanks tomasz jarosz. ioannis samaras,waqas hassan tanveer, i have solves my prob by your support and guidlines
