Abstract  The all-solid-state Ag/AgCl reference electrode was prepared by thermal-dip coating and electrochemical reduction method. Effects of chloride ion concentration, temperature, light, pH and seawater flow on the potential of the Ag/AgCl reference electrode were studied in this paper. The results showed that the as-prepared Ag/AgCl reference electrode had good Nernst response and temperature response characteristic. If dissolved oxygen existed in the solution, on the electrode surface Ag2O formed under sunshine and the electrode potential drifted. The flow rate of seawater had great effect on the electrode potential, however,the influence of pH value was minimal.
Key words:  Ag/AgCl      reference electrode      Nernst response      temperature      light illumination
