Study Notes
Electrochemical Sensors and Electrolytic Cells
- Electrochemical sensors used together with enzymes or antibodies are called biosensors.
- Electrochemical sensors are essentially potentiometric or amperometric transducers.
- An electrolytic cell decomposes ionic chemical compounds by applying an electric potential.
- The process where electrons are taken from metal ions at one electrode and released to metal ions at the other electrode is called electrolysis.
- The current that flows between the electrodes in an electrolytic cell is determined by the resistance of the electrolyte and the electrode surface area.
