Abstract
A method of monitoring an electrochemical second order half-cell () is provided, as is a measuring probe with at least one electrochemical second order half-cell (), a control- and/or regulation unit () to close an electrochemical contact between the half-cell and a measuring medium (), and with at least one temperature sensor (). The half-cell includes an electrolyte () and a first conductor element () in contact with the electrolyte and which holds a first electrical potential (E). The half-cell also has a second conductor element () in contact with the electrolyte, the second conductor holding a second electrical potential (E). The two conductor elements () comprise the same metal. The first conductor element has a coating () of a low-solubility salt of the same metal. The control- and/or regulation unit includes a program for executing a method of monitoring the electrochemical half-cell.
