Abstract Ion-selective electrodes have been applied to analysis of blood electrolytes with some success. However, currently available ion-selective electrode systems tend to be elaborate and expensive. We describe a clinical electrolyte analyzer in which inexpensive ion-selective electrodes are used. The electrodes are in the configuration of thin wires and are all solid in construction. They may be dipped directly into undiluted 250-µl samples of serum or plasma, are nondestructive of the sample, and may be used with an expanded-scale pH meter, although a more sensitive electrometer is preferred. The complete electrolyte analyzer consists of an electrode holder, into which the electrodes are plugged, and a solid-state digital electrometer that displays units of electrolyte concentration. A discussion of the thermodynamics essential to the construction of reversible electrodes is also presented, as well as the results of a clinical study in which it is shown that data from a flame photometer and the electrochemical analyzer compare favorably.

<div><div><div><p>Knowledge of electrolyte transport and thermodynamic properties in Li-ion and ”beyond Li-ion” technologies is vital for their continued development and success. Here, we present a method for fully characterising electrolyte systems. By measuring the electrolyte concentration gradient over time via operando Raman microspectroscopy, in tandem with potentiostatic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the Fickian ”apparent” diffusion coefficient, transference number, thermodynamic factor, ionic conductivity and resistance of charge-transfer were quantified within a single experimental setup. Using lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) in tetraglyme (G4) as a model system, our study provides a visualisation of the electrolyte concentration gradient; a method for determining key electrolyte properties, and a necessary technique for correlating intermolecular electrolyte structure with the described transport and thermodynamic properties.</p></div></div></div>

The original mixed-mode model is reformulated by considering the soft impingement effect and applying a general polynomial method of dealing with the concentration gradient in front of the interface. Comparison with the numerical solution shows that the reformulated mixed-mode model is more precise than the original model. The effect of soft impingement on the kinetics of partitioning phase transformation depends on both the growth mode and the degree of super-saturation.

An interferometric study of working electrodes in a cell holding less than 1 ml of solution enabled the effects of cell depth, orientation, electrolyte concentration, and temperature on the concentration gradient to be evaluated. The concentration gradient (obtained from the perturbations of a parallel fringe pattern) is an error function of current density, but every factor studied produced deviation from this relationship. The electrodeposition of the following ions has been studied: Cu++, Zn++, Ni++, Ag+, in a wide variety of electrolytes.
