The development of all-solid-state precise pH electrodes holds significant importance in various fields, particularly in marine scientific research. To achieve this goal, we proposed a novel fabrication technique for an all-solid-state ruthenium oxide (Ti/RuO) pH electrode. We thin-coated the RuCl precursor solution on a titanium wire substrate using a heat gun repeatedly and then calcined it in a mixture of LiCO and NaO at 400 °C to obtain a ruthenium oxide (RuO) film.

In this study, parameters, including the signal output and the relevant noise and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a fiber optic spectrometry system composed of a photodiode array miniature spectrometer and external driver electronics were examined at multiple integration times from -50°C to 30°C, well below the specified operating temperature of this spectrometer. The relationships between those parameters and incident light level were also examined, at a single temperature of 0°C.
