RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Development of solid contact micropipette Zn-ion selective electrode for corrosion studies A1 Souto, Ricardo Manuel A1 Varga, Ágnes A1 Nagy, Lívia A1 Izquierdo Pérez, Javier A1 Bitter, István A1 Nagy, Géza AB The fabrication of a new, solid contact, micropipette ion-selective electrode suitable for use as potentiometric tip in scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is described. Owing to the low resistance, and long life times, these electrodes can advantageously be used in corrosion studies where the measurement of local zinc ion concentrations evolving in surface reactions can give important information about the nature of the process. Data on the properties of these Zn2+ ion selective microelectrodes, namely life time, resistance and ion activity response, are shown. Preliminary findings using them in SECM imaging of zinc ion concentration profiles from a corroding sample are also given. The improvement of scanning rate achieved by lowering the tip resistance is a major advantage in potentiometric SECM YR 2011 FD 2011 LK http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/19138 UL http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/19138 LA en DS Repositorio institucional de la Universidad de La Laguna RD 22-dic-2024
