10. 2 relative to a Ag/AgCl reference electrode with a Teflon junction (LAB-REF, Innovative Sensors, Inc.) in the same solution. The offset potential was obtained with a commercial pH 7 reference solution. A Nernstian slope of 59 mV per pH unit was confirmed with pH 4 and 10 buffer solutions.
11. 4F pits the bevels of the ATR crystal and thus decreases its IR transmission. KF solutions do not induce significant losses in transmission even after a 30 min etch.
