ABSTRACT
Ion-selective potentiometry looks back more than a century, being among the earliest instrumental methods of analysis. Its very beginning is marked by fundamental contributions on understanding the electrode potential of electrodes of the ˆrst and second kind as well as the potential difference arising at the interface
