Electrochemical properties of silver electrodes with 2, 4, 6, 10 and 15% bismuth have systematically been investigated with cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Increased overpotential towards hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was found as a result of increasing amount of added bismuth. Ibis was also demonstrated in acid solution where zinc was successfully detected on mixed electrodes, but failed on pure silver electrodes. Formation and decomposition of oxide products formed on the different electrode surfaces were studied by cyclic voltammetry, and in addition to known species found on sliver, also peaks attributed to bismuth were achieved and examined. Zinc, cadmium, and lead were measured in the low mu g/L range on the mixed electrodes, and good linearity (r(2) = 0.998) was found for 2 to 10 mu g/L. Lead was measured down to 0.1 mu g/L. Further it was found in DPASV that the zinc peak significantly shifted towards a more negative value with increasing amount of bismuth in the silver electrodes. The same was also observed for cadmium and lead, but in a less extent. Finally a silver electrode containing 15% bismuth was used for continuous analyses in a polluted river for 6 weeks.
