Glassy carbon electrode is one of the most widely used working electrodes, and it is a better inert electrode. Glassy carbon electrode has many advantages such as good conductivity, high hardness, high finish, high hydrogen overpotential, and wide polarization range. Its chemical properties are very stable, and it can be used as an inert electrode for direct anodic dissolution testing, and voltammetric determination of cathodes and variable valence ions. Using glassy carbon electrodes as the substrate, chemically modified electrodes can also be prepared.

There are four types of insulating rods for glassy carbon electrode jackets.

Application note:
The disk electrode is immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a working electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a certain amount of time. After the experiment, the electrode should be washed several times with ethanol. If the disk electrode was used as a current collector with other electrode material, or when there are visible traces of material absorption, it should be polished down to the mirror surface after the experiment is completed. Store the working disk electrode in the glass tube sealed with an O-Ring (all included in the package). An instruction on maintenance is provided in Electrode Polishing Kit product page.
