Platinum disc working electrodes have high resistance to oxidation in both air and acids, which is why they are widely used in standard electrochemistry cells for cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry and investigation for the oxidation and reduction potentials of organic and inorganic semiconductors. Organic semiconductors such as polymers in solution can be drop-cast onto the disc to form films, or alternatively the electrochemical cell can be set up to measure the properties of a material in solution. Both platinum and gold disc working electrodes are easy to use and clean.

Solvent and acid resistant working electrodes are available to buy with either a highly polished platinum (included with our potentiostat) or gold disc embedded in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) plastic bodies
