Platineelektroden

Platineelektroden, also known as platinum electrodes, are electrochemical sensors or conductive components made primarily of platinum. Platinum is a noble metal, making these electrodes highly resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, which is crucial for their performance in various demanding environments. Their excellent conductivity further enhances their utility.

These electrodes find widespread application in analytical chemistry, particularly in potentiometry and voltammetry, where they serve as working, counter, or reference electrodes. Their inert nature allows them to facilitate electrochemical reactions without participating in them, ensuring accurate measurements of analytes. In electroplating, platinum electrodes are used to deposit thin layers of platinum onto other surfaces, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish.

The medical industry also utilizes platineelektroden. Their biocompatibility makes them suitable for use in pacemakers, neurostimulators, and other implantable devices where reliable electrical contact is essential. In laboratory settings, they are indispensable for electrochemical synthesis, catalysis research, and as components in fuel cells, where their catalytic properties contribute to efficient energy conversion. The specific design and surface treatment of platineelektroden can be tailored to optimize their performance for particular applications.
