Abstract
Abstract Interrupted amperometry is a new highly sensitive method for diffusion current measuring. The main feature of the proposed technique is the use of capacitive current as the analytical signal together with the faradaic current. The conventional electrical circuit for amperometric measurements is complemented by a switcher that enables periodical interruption of the circuit. The technique was successfully applied for direct amperometric determination of lead, cadmium and iron ions, phenol and hydroquinone; for determination of dichromate ion via titration; for determination of dissolved oxygen in water by Clark-type sensor. In all the mentioned cases the achieved values of analytical characteristics are significantly better than for conventional amperometric methods. There are limitations and perspectives of the proposed technique considered.
