Bismuth and antimony electrodes in modern electroanalysis (Invited Lecture)

We presented some of our recent findings in the studies, development, and application of bismuth- and antimony- based electrodes introduced in our laboratory. Both electrodes have been widely recognized as practically the most efficient alternative to the toxic mercury electrode which in the past decades dominated for measuring trace heavy metals and some organic species. In particular, the bismuth electrode which we introduced for the first time in 2000 has found its place in numerous electroanalytical laboratories worldwide, and we can anticipate the same for the antimony electrode.

Ten years of bismuth electrodes in modern electroanalysis (Invited Lecture)

We summarized the results of the research on the bismuth electrode from its introduction in 2010 til now. This electrode has been proposed in many configurations, e.g. in-situ or ex-situ prepared Bifilm in combination with different substrate electrodes, such as carbon fiber, glassy carbon, carbon paste (e.g. with admixed Bi powder or Bi oxide), etc. The list of the analytes has been extended from numerous metal ions to organic species. The introduction of this electrode certainly represents a valuable contribution to the modern, environmentally friendly electroanalytical chemistry.
