Three-electrode analytical and preparative electrochemistry in micro-volume hanging droplets

• Electrochemistry in hanging droplets.
• Micro-volume droplets suspended by capillary forces to a fritted glass.
• Electroanalysis in minute samples.
• High-valued molecules and controlled-potential electrolysis.

Three-electrode micro-cells equipped with a conventional reference electrode (SCE) were easily constructed based on micro-volume droplets suspended by capillary forces to the fritted glass of the SCE bridge. Working and counter electrodes were simply inserted through the droplet surface, allowing classical electrochemistry to be readily performed in minute samples.
