Abstract
A surface renewable pH electrode was prepared by utilizing composite electrode technique. Iridium oxide micro-fine particles was prepared by hydrolysis of (NH4)2IrCl6 at elevated temperature. The iridium oxide particles were mixed with well-dispersed carbon black and then filtered. The mixture was suspended in DMF containing PVC as a binder. The mixture was precipitated rapidly by adding large amount of water. The precipitate was ground and pressure-molded to iridium oxide composite electrode material. The electrode showed linear response between pH 1-13 with 50 to 60 mV/pH slope. The electrode maintained the pH response without appreciable slope drift for 170 days if stored in deionized water. The electrode surface can be renewed reproducibly by simple grinding process whenever contaminated or deactivated.
