The working electrode is the electrode in an electrochemical system on which the reaction of interest is occurring. The working electrode is often used in conjunction with an auxiliary electrode, and a reference electrode in a three electrode system. Depending on whether the reaction on the electrode is a reduction or an oxidation, the working electrode is called cathodic or anodic, respectively. Common working electrodes can consist of materials ranging from inert metals such as gold, silver or platinum, to inert carbon such as glassy carbon or pyrolytic carbon, and mercury drop and film electrodes. Chemically modified electrodes are employed for the analysis of both organic molecules as well as metal ions. ==Special types of working electrodes== * Ultramicroelectrode (UME) * Rotating disk electrode (RDE) * Rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) * Hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) * Dropping mercury electrode (DME) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「working electrode」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
