ABSTRACT:
An improved electrochemical reference electrode for use in potentiometric determinations of species in solution. The body of the electrode is composed of a material substantially permeable to liquid water whose exterior surface, excepting a comparatively small area, is covered by a membrane through which water may pass only by diffusion and which is also ion impermeable. The small area which is not covered forms an opening through the membrane to the body. The body contains a saturated salt slurry. When the electrode is immersed in an aqueous sample solution, water diffuses through the membrane and is transported in bulk across the body. Upon entry into the slurry, the water dissolves the solid salt in the slurry to produce an electrolyte which in turn flows outward through the small area of the body which is not covered by the membrane, whereby a liquid junction is provided between the electrolyte and the sample solution.
