Is it possible to use a silver wire as a pseudo reference electrode when recording a CV with the IKA ElectraSyn 2.0? Also, can you recommend any literature for recording a CV for the first time? I would like to understand how U is determined when using a pseudo reference electrode when the pseudo RE is polarized together with WE.
Hey there Igor Lavrentev! Using a silver wire as a pseudo reference electrode for cyclic voltammetry (CV) on the IKA ElectraSyn 2.0 is a feasible option. Silver is commonly employed as a reference material due to its stable and reproducible potential.
When recording a CV for the first time, it's essential to follow established protocols. I'd recommend checking out literature like "Electroanalytical Chemistry: A Series of Advances" by Allen J. Bard for comprehensive insights into CV techniques. Additionally, "Modern Techniques in Electroanalysis" by Pedro Gomez-Romero provides practical guidance.
Understanding how the potential (U) is determined when using a pseudo reference electrode involves considering the reference electrode's potential against a known standard. The potential of the pseudo reference electrode is typically stable and known, allowing for accurate measurements.
Feel free to explore these references for a deeper understanding of CV techniques, and let me know if you Igor Lavrentev have more specific questions!
