    Notes: The performance of spherically shaped mercury microelectrodes, formed by electroreduction of mercury onto an inlaid platinum microdisk of radius r, characterized by different deposit heights, h, have been investigated for cyclic (CV) and anodic stripping (ASV) voltammetry. Electrodes with h/r ratio in the range 0.1-2 have been tested in solutions containing Pb2+ and Cd2+ in NaCl and NaClO4 + HClO4 as supporting electrolytes. For cyclic vodtammetry the results obtained indicated that the width at half height (w1/2), the peak current (ip) and the charge of the anodic stripping peak (Qs) depend on the h/r parameter. Particular attention has been devoted to the relation between the charge of the cathodic process and the anodic charge of the stripping peaks. It has been found that the experimental charge values involved in the cathodic and anodic scan agree within 3%, irrespective of the mercury thickness, indicating a complete stripping of the metals deposited in the mercury. For ASV the Pt-Cd intermetallic compounds have been found to influence the stripping peak of cadmium for electrodes with h/r ≤ 1 and for concentrations of Cd2+ lower than 10-6 M. By exploiting the known properties of the mercury microelectrodes in stripping analysis, an absolute method, based on the charge associated with the stripping peak, has been applied for determining the labile fraction of the above cations in a pore-water sample of the Venice lagoon.
