摘要
A WAVO3 pH electrode was prepared by a method of sol-gel. In order to study the H^＋ response dynamic mechanism, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） experiment was conducted. It was found that the H^＋ response course is controlled by the H^＋ diffusion from the solution to the WO3 film, based on the analysis of EIS spectra. The EIS and potential step method were used to determinate the H＋ diffusion coefficient （D） in the course of H^＋ response of this WAVO3 electrode, and the values of D calculated by these two method correspond very well, which all are about 10^-19cm^2/s The imposed different potential steps make little effect on the calculation of H^＋ diffusion coefficient, and it was found that the limiting Cottrell equation of short elapsed time fits well to the current transient caused by a potential step, based on the analysis of the time constant.
