Alternative Working Electrode for the Determination of the Antioxidant Content by Electrochemical Techniques

Abstract

T501 is an antioxidant widely used in transformer oil. The content of T501 in transformer oil can be detected by electrochemical techniques, however, in the process of condition optimizing for electrochemical measurement, people haven’t done in-depth study the effect of working electrode on T510 antioxidant electrochemical measurement. This paper mainly introduced the alternative working electrodes for the determination of the antioxidant content. Through researching the electrochemical properties of T501 antioxidant by the electrochemical workstation, it is confirmed that the graphite electrode is the best working electrode in the electrochemical measurement of T501 antioxidant content.
