This invention discloses an anion-selective
electrode, its preparation method, and its application. The anion-selective
electrode consists of two electrodes with different loading amounts, each on a conductive substrate loaded with a
metal / a sparingly soluble
metal salt. The preparation method involves first depositing a large amount of
metal on a conductive substrate, then using it as the
anode and electrolyzing it for a long time in an anion solution containing anions capable of forming the sparingly soluble metal salt, resulting in an
electrode composed of a large amount of metal and its sparingly soluble salt. Then, a small amount of metal is deposited on another conductive substrate, which is then used as the
anode and electrolyzed for a short time in the same anion solution, resulting in an electrode composed of a small amount of metal and its sparingly soluble salt. The two electrodes form an
electrode pair. The selective electrode of this invention consists of a pair of electrodes, exhibiting
uniform size, high specific surface area, and abundant active sites. Compared with traditional electrodes, it is smaller in size. The preparation method is simple and reliable. When applied to fields such as anion detection, it demonstrates
high selectivity and sensitivity, making it suitable for widespread application.
