I am doing a chronopotentiometry study on a two electrode system using a CH instrument. I have only done studies on 3 electrode systems till now and connected the red cable to the counter electrode, white cable to the reference electrode and green one to the working electrode. when changing into two electrode system, to which electrode should I connect each of these cables?
Dear Meenakshi,
For the two electrode system, counter and reference electrode will be short make it one electrode cable and on other side working cable connected to your working electrode. In your scenario you should short the red and white cable and green connected to working electrode. and also you sholud know that what electrodes you are using in two electrodes system.
Dear Meenakshi Sunil,
in a two-electrode system, you use the anode and cathode, so the reference is useless.
it depends on your choice of working electrode (anode), the counter-electrode will serve as cathode and the same applies to the opposite choice.
good luck.
Thank you so much for your valuable response Dr. Naima Ghemmit-Doulache
