A method of producing an ion sensitive working electrode for a heavy metal ion sensor, the ion sensitive working electrode including a mixture of Ag.sub.2 S and MeS in which Me represents a heavy metal to be determined in a solution to be measured, the method including applying a conductive layer onto a substrate using at least one thick-film technique selected from the group consisting essentially of screen printing and film casting; applying a layer comprised of a plurality of juxtaposed sections on top of the conductive layer, each section of the plurality of juxtaposed sections being comprised of a mixture of Ag.sub.2 S and MeS, with each section of the plurality of juxtaposed sections containing a different heavy metal, Me; and applying a covering layer on top of the layer comprised of a plurality of juxtaposed sections and on top of at least a portion of the conductive layer, which portion of the conductive layer will contact the solution to be measured in use whereby the covering layer protects the conductive layer from the solution to be measured in use, the covering layer having defined therein a plurality of window regions, one window region for each section of the plurality of juxtaposed sections, whereby the solution to be measured in use is provided access to the layer comprised of a plurality of juxtaposed sections.

Process for producing the ion-sensitive probe electrode of a

An electrochromic system. It comprises layers of solid/materials deposited on glass or another substrate. The solids function in an atmosphere that can be dry. One layer is preferably Li.sub.3 AlF.sub.6 and conducts positive lithium ions. Another layer is a counterelectrode. The counterelectrode is improved to the extent that it can reversibly accept ions from and donate them to the ion conductor while remaining extensively transparent. The counterelectrode can be Li.sub.x TiO.sub.y, (Li.sub.2 O).sub.m (WO.sub.3).sub.n (Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3), or (Li.sub.2 O).sub.m (WO.sub.3).sub.n (CeO.sub.2).sub.o.
