LID - 10.3390/s19214756 [doi] LID - 4756 AB - Iridium oxide pH electrodes employing the carbonate melt oxidation method were fabricated with oxidation temperatures of 750 degrees C, 800 degrees C and 850 degrees C, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) images showed that the oxide film regularized with the increase in oxidation temperatures. The pH response, response time and long-term stability of the electrodes indicated that the electrodes made at 850 degrees C had the best performance. X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) surveys investigated the change in the electrodes' chemical composition and element oxidation states at 850 degrees C, and the results showed that the relative content of Ir(3+) had increased by 23.9%, and the Ir(4+) and Ir(6+) had decreased by 10.9% and 13%, respectively, in the surface oxide layer after one month of aging. However, the relative contents of Ir(3+), Ir(4+) and Ir(6+) were almost constant for the inner oxide layer. Meanwhile, the XPS result also indicated that the outer oxide layer of the electrode had a higher hydration degree than the inner oxide layer.
