Claim Text:
1. A method for performing electrochemical phase transfer, the method comprising: flowing a solution of 18F− ions in H2O between first and second elongate electrodes, wherein at least one of the first or second elongate electrodes is formed from a blend of polymeric material and carbon particles; applying a potential between the first and second elongate electrodes to trap 18F− ions on the positively-charged one of the first and second elongate electrodes; reversing the potential between the first and second elongate electrodes; flowing a solvent between the first and second elongate electrodes while reversing the potential between the first and second elongate electrodes; and gradually heating the electrode on which the 18F− ions were trapped while applying the potential between the first and second elongate electrodes.
