Electrochemical Analysis and Applications

Electrochemical Analysis and Applications is a research topic within Electrochemistry. Science Explorer counts 113k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions using various techniques such as anodic stripping voltammetry, bismuth-coated electrodes, and graphene-based sensors. It also explores the use of scanning electrochemical microscopy for nanoscale imaging and the development of sensors for sensitive detection of heavy metal ions in water.
