The deposition and stripping behavior of silver sulfide films at the silver rotating disk electrode were investigated. The effect of various factors - rotation rate, scan rate, deposition potential and time, and concentn of sulfide ion - on the stripping peak current and potential were studied. The electrode has been found to be excellent for cathodic stripping voltammetry for the determination of submicro amounts of sulfide ion. Furthermore, differential voltammetry significantly enhanced the signal/noise ratio, and a linear response was obtained over the concentration range 10/sup -8/ to 10/sup -5/ mol dm/sup -3/ of sulfide ion in 0.2 mol dm/sup -3/ NaOH.
