Fabrication and characterization of A thin-layer electrochemical flow cell and its application for flow analysis

摘要

The design and fabrication of a home-made thin-layer electrochemical flow cell are reported. The performance and electrochemical characteristics of thin-layer cells are evaluated in terms of flow rate and channel thickness. The adaptability of the flow cell for amperometric and electrochemiluminescence measurements is demonstrated. Also, a flow injection method comprising electrochemical generation followed by spectrophotometric detection is proposed for determination of bromide using the fabricated cell. The influence of chemical, electrochemical, and flow parameters on the absorbance and current signals are investigated, and under optimized conditions, the analytical features of the proposed method with respect to bromide detection are evaluated.
