Advantages of DMe(compared to planar electrode) O clean surface generated Disadvantages of dMe O Hg easily oxidized, limited use as anode(<+0.4v) 2Hg+2Ch-2e→Hg2Cl2 Nonfaradaic residual currents limit detertion to> 10-5 molL ● cumbersome(笨重的尴尬的) to use( OXIC mercury) Sometimes produce current maxima for unclear reasons( use maxima suppressor)
Advantages of DME (compared to planar electrode) ● clean surface generated ● rapid achievement of constant current during drop growth ● remixing of solution when drop falls to remove previous diffusion layer ● high Hg overvoltage means even metals with high –Ve E0 can be measured without H2 formation Disadvantages of DME ● Hg easily oxidized, limited use as anode(E < +0.4V) 2Hg + 2Cl- -2e →Hg2Cl2 ●nonfaradaic residual currents limit detertion to > 10-5 mol.L-1 . ●cumbersome(笨重的,尴尬的) to use(toxic mercury) ●sometimes produce current maxima for unclear reasons( use maxima suppressor)
