What is the purpose of a modified electrode?
Table of Contents
Chemically Modified Electrodes Clay modified electrodes are used in fundamental studies of electron transfer, and in the construction of sensor devices. The ionic aqueous environment in the interlayer region is highly amenable to electrochemical processes.
How are electrodes modified?
Chemically modified electrodes are made using advanced approaches to electrode systems by adding a thin film or layer of certain chemicals to change properties of the conductor according to its targeted function.
What are the different types of electrodes?

Types and Examples of Electrodes
- There are mainly two types of electrodes namely reactive and inert electrodes.
- An inert type does not participate in any reaction while reactive types participate actively in reactions.
- Some commonly used inert electrodes include platinum, gold, graphite(carbon), and rhodium.
How are electrodes modified with redox groups?
Electrical communication between redox proteins and electrode surfaces has been improved by aligning proteins on chemically modified electrodes, by attaching electron-transporting groups and by immobilizing proteins in polymer matrices tethered by redox groups.

How do you identify electrodes?
Arc welding electrodes are identified using the A.W.S, (American Welding Society) numbering system and are made in sizes from 1/16 to 5/16 . An example would be a welding rod identified as an 1/8″ E6011 electrode. The “E” stands for arc welding electrode.
What are types of electrodes?
There are mainly two types of electrodes namely reactive and inert electrodes. An inert type does not participate in any reaction while reactive types participate actively in reactions. Some commonly used inert electrodes include platinum, gold, graphite(carbon), and rhodium.
What does E stand for in electrode?
Welding Current The āEā indicates an arc welding electrode. The first two digits of a 4-digit number and the first three digits of a 5-digit number stand for tensile strength. For example, E6010 means 60,000 pounds per square inch (PSI) tensile strength and E10018 means 100,000 psi tensile strength.
What does the 13 in E6013 stand for?
Thus the number E6013 written on an electrode indicates that it is a rutile potassium based flux coated mild steel electrode with 62,000 psi minimum tensile strength having light penetration which can be used in all positions of welding except vertically down.
What does the 60 in E6013 stand for?
The ā60ā in E6013 indicates that the weld metal will have a minimum tensile strength of 62000 psi.
