Shall i use (Potassium chloride+Sodium chloride) as electrolyte for sensor application
That depends on the sensor application. Some sensors are not chloride tolerant and need low chloride electrolyte. Most sensor electrolytes are buffers, so it really depends on the application of the sensor.
Hello Prem,
As Shelley points out, most electrolytes used in sensor applications will be biological buffers. I attach a very useful resource that I hope you will find useful.
'Buffers: A guide for the preparation and use of buffers in biological systems.' [CALBIOCHEM]
Unless you specify your specific application and specific type of sensor it will not be possible to suggest which electrolyte you should use.
Thank you all. Actually i am also using buffer solution for my sensor application (Pharmaceutical compounds). Can i use this (NaCl + KCl) for electrochemical reduction process like Ag, Ni nano particles deposition purpose.
Prem,
As Shelley and Parahuram point out, it's difficult to provide a suitable answer without knowing more about the specific application. What types of compounds are you looking to detect? Interference of the chloride ion would be my biggest concern. What potentials are you looking to use?
Did you look at the booklet I sent? It has some good general guidelines and examples to look at.
Dear Hammond
Thanks for ur kind answers
i gone through your booklet
It was very useful for us.
Actually i am doing the electrochemical sensor in pharmaceutical compounds. Exactly says Epilepsy drugs. Example carbamazipine
if you have any idea pls
