Summary
The preparation is described of pyrolytic carbon film electrodes (PCFE) with outstanding properties. The physical and chemical resistance is remarkable as is the low residual current in various aqueous electrolytes when operating in the direct current and the differential pulse mode. The potential window available for amperometry is also unusually large. These features make PCFE of interest for amperometric detection.
