“…Mercury film electrodes had been the most widely used metal-film electrodes for stripping analysis [1,2] before the introduction of bismuth [3], lead [4], antimony [5], tin [6] and amalgam [7] film electrodes, usually deposited on a variety of carbon-based substrates, as more environmentally acceptable alternatives. Copper-based electrodes have been mainly used for detecting glucose [8] or carbohydrates in general [9,10], nitrate [11,12], formaldehyde [13], and hydrazine [14] and for electrochemical reduction of CO 2 [15].…”
