In the last four decades, the uses and application of ion-selective electrodes was widely applied in several researches as well as analytical projects. These electrodes are varied between solid state electrodes, liquid membrane electrodes, gas membrane electrodes, and plastic membrane electrodes. Plasticizers are one of the major components of the plastic membranes. As it is usually known, they...

This paper presents an alternative strategy for manufacturing solid-state reference electrodes based on particles of graphite/silver/silver chloride synthesized by electroless deposition of metallic silver and silver chloride on graphite powder. Two kinds of reference electrodes were manufactured by mixing these particles with epoxy resin and hardener: quasi-reference and all-solid-state contai...

Abstract In the development of all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLB), progress is made with solid‐state electrolytes; however, challenges regarding compatibility and stability still exist solid electrodes. These issues result in a low battery capacity short cycle life, which limit commercial application ASSLBs. This review summarizes recent research on electrodes ASSLBs including solid–soli...

a r t i c l e i n f o Microelectrodes on solid electrolytes, contacted by current-collecting tips, have become increasingly important for analyzing electrochemical properties of electrode materials in solid state ionics. Samples are usually asymmetrically heated from the bottom side. It is shown experimentally, e.g. by thermovoltage measurements, impedance spectroscopy and infrared camera pictu...

A new approach for developing solid-state dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) on glass/ITO and plastic substrates (PEN/ITO) is presented in this manuscript. A two step electrodeposition technique has been employed to realize the ZnO photoelectrodes. First a ZnO thin film is deposited on the ITO substrate and subsequently on this buffer layer 650 nm long ZnO nanowires are grown. The different nan...

Recent developments of solid electrolytes, especially lithium ion conductors, led to all solid state batteries for various applications. In addition, mathematical models sprout for different electrode materials and battery types, but are missing for solid electrolyte cells. We present a mathematical model for ion flux in solid electrolytes, based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics and functional...
