The AgNP-CF electrode performs well in field and simulated ocean tests.
Abstract
To solve the problems of carbon fiber (CF) electrodes, including poor frequency response and large potential drift, CFs were subjected to a roughening pretreatment process combining thermal oxidation and electrochemical anodic oxidation and then modified with Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) using electroplating to prepare a CF electric field sensor. The surface morphology of the as-prepared AgNP-CF electric field sensor was characterized via optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, XPS, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and its impedance, polarization drift, self-noise, and temperature drift values were determined. Results show that the surface modification of the AgNP-CF electric field sensor is uniform, and its specific surface area is considerably increased. The electrode potential drift, characteristic impedance, self-noise, and temperature drift are 52.1 µV/24 h, 3.6 Ω, 2.993…
