Abstract

This paper presents the printed thick film Ag|AgCl|KCl reference electrodes for electrochemical or biosensors application and theirelectrochemical and analytical performance. The reference electrode exhibits a stable potential against standard glass reference electrode with a potential difference of 5 mV in the deionized water. The anodic and cathodic peak current of the electrode increase with the increase in scan rate in the range of 25-150 mVs -1 . The open circuit potential response of thick film reference electrode in the NaCl concentrations range (30-100 mM) was measured and it shows a stable potential in each test solution. The fabricated reference electrode shows an excellent application for an electrochemical pH sensor.
