| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bipolar electrochemistry is a new electrochemical technique that features generation of potential difference between a solution and electrically isolated electrodes (bipolar electrode) that are not connected to any external instruments. By forming Ag/AgCl or an ion-selective membrane on a part of the bipolar electrodes, the interfacial potential differences of the parts were fixed and redox reactions on both poles could be controlled. The technique was also used to connect solutions in microfabricated electrochemical systems using metal connections, which can be a basis in creating more advanced integrated electrochemical microfluidic devices. The metal connection was also effective in improving the sensitivity of a coulometric device that features detection of silver deposited accompanying the oxidation of an analyte.
