Sandra Hernandez Aldave

Hello Adnan,

Modifying the glassy carbon electrode by drop casting means that you add certain amount of composite/material on the top of the electrode. The quantity depends in the type of experiments but the material should cover the active surface of the glassy carbon electrode (grey area). The added composite ideally will enhace the electroanalytical or electrocatalical properties of the electrode.

I hope this helps,

Adnan Qadir

Many thanks Sandra.
