Analytical Applications of Composite Solid Electrodes

Abstract

Recent trends and advances in electrochemistry with composite solid electrodes (CSEs) are reviewed. Their properties, methods of preparation, pre-treatment, and analytical applications are summarized and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Special attention is paid to the determination of inorganic and organic compounds important from the point of view of the protection of environment and human health. The review is focused on easily prepared electrodes frequently used in the authors' laboratory and their practical applications. However, some other electrodes and their fields of applications are mentioned as well.
