Abstract

The application of electrochemically activated glassy carbon ( GC) in the in-situ preparing of bismuth film electrodes ( BiFEs) to analyze Pb2 + and Cd2 + was investigated. The glassy carbon electrodes were electrochemically activated by either potentiostic or cyclic polarization in 1 mol·L-1 NaOH solution. Experimental results show that employment of HCl solution as the analytical solution not only can reproducibly renew the electrochemically activated GC electrode surface with an electrochemical clear procedure,but also can greatly enhance the sensitivity of BiFes method for analysis of Pb2 + and Cd2 + . The test range thus was extended to the sample containing high chloride anion concentration.
