Ag_agcl Reference Electrode, Brand Name : SSI 3MM-6MM

Ag/AgCl Reference Electrode

An Ag/AgCl reference electrode is one of the most commonly used reference electrodes in electrochemical measurements. It consists of a silver wire coated with silver chloride, immersed in a solution containing a known concentration of chloride ions (commonly KCl). This design provides a stable and well-defined electrode potential, which is independent of the test solution, making it reliable for precise electrochemical experiments.

Key Features:

• Construction: Silver wire coated with AgCl, placed in a chloride ion-containing electrolyte.

• Stability: Offers a stable and reproducible potential over long periods.

• Compatibility: Non-toxic compared to mercury-based electrodes; suitable for aqueous electrochemical systems.

• Applications: Used widely in corrosion studies, cyclic voltammetry, battery and fuel cell research, biosensors, and general electrochemical testing.

• Advantages:

  • Simple design and easy handling

  • High reproducibility of potential

  • Environmentally safer than calomel electrodes
