Transient Changes in the Potential of the Ag-Agl Electrode induced by a Light Pulse

Abstract

EXPOSURE of a silver–silver iodide electrode in an electrolyte solution to a flash of light causes transient changes in the electrode potential. This effect is a function of the concentration of potential-determining ions, I− and Ag+, and has a minimum near the point of zero charge (p.z.c.).
