Quasi-reference electrode

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009776",
  "term": "Quasi-reference electrode",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An electrode that maintains a relatively stable potential during an electrochemical measurement, but whose potential is not precisely known or thermodynamically defined. It serves as a practical substitute for a true reference electrode in situations where a conventional reference electrode is impractical or undesirable. This type of electrode is often used in non-aqueous solvents or miniaturized electrochemical systems.",
