4. Conclusion
In this present study, Mn3O4 based pellet reference electrode was successfully fabricated and characterized in high alkaline solution environment. The electrochemical studies reveal that FPE gives pH dependable potential. Corrosion monitoring studies of steel rebar was conducted through the potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance method and the results were compared with conventional SCE reference electrode. The resulting data showed the better characteristics of FPE in high alkaline concrete like environment. When it is used in steel rebar corrosion assessment of concrete structures, it can easily differentiate the passive and active state of steel rebar.
