Abstract
The invention is directed to an electrochemical measuring cell for detecting hydrogen cyanide or sulfur dioxide by means of at least one measuring electrode and a counter electrode disposed in an electrolyte. The electrolyte is accommodated in a measuring chamber closed off with respect to the ambient by a membrane permeable to the substance to be detected. This measuring cell is improved in that the long-term stability of the measuring signal is increased and a corrosion of the electrodes is prevented. For this purpose, the electrolyte in the electrolyte chamber contains an additive of copper salts for catalyzing the oxidation of the substance to be detected.
