Plastic Chip Electrode: An Emerging Multipurpose Electrode Platform

Abstract

The properties of electrodes play a crucial role in the processes occurring on them. Therefore, a variety of materials have been tried as electrodes. Carbon composite materials are among the most admired ones. Use of composites as electrode material dates back to the mid of the last century when polymer‐carbon composites were tried as general‐purpose electrode platforms and epoxy impregnated graphite paste/ solid electrodes were tried in polarography. Later the composite electrodes have seen several phases of development. Plastic Chip Electrode (PCE) is a class of polymer composite electrode developed by our group. This monographic review gives a bird's eye account of polymer composite electrodes and appurtenant work, followed by elaborating on various aspects and state‐of‐the‐art plastic chip electrode.

“…Simultaneously, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was utilized to analyze their respective elemental compositions. The SEM image of the PCE has previously been reported, 46,47 displaying a rugged surface. Fig.…”

“…The method described earlier was employed for fabricating plastic chip electrodes (PCEs). 46,47 The production of plastic chip electrodes utilizes a solution casting technique, where a slurry comprising graphite and poly(methyl methacrylate) [PMMA] in a precise 60 : 40 ratio in chloroform was prepared. To prepare the slurry, continuous stirring with a glass rod and subsequent ultrasonication for 10 minutes were employed.…”
