Abstract:
1. A high pressure reference electrode comprising: (a) a tube for housing an internal reference electrolyte and a metal conductor connected to a reference material at the bottom of the conductor; (b) a liquid junction plug sealed to the bottom of the tube wherein the plug is at a substantial distance from the reference material and is in direct contact with the internal reference electrolyte and allows electrical current to go through; (c) seals at the top of the tube that seal the internal reference electrolyte and the reference material inside the tube and allow the metal conductor to penetrate from the upper end for electrical connection; (d) one or more thin and long rigid objects inside the tube wherein the one or more thin and long rigid objects extend from the reference material all the way to the liquid junction plug, wherein the one or more thin and long rigid objects prevent the formation of gas bubbles in the liquid section between the reference material and the liquid junction plug.
