Electrodes can be constructed from elemental mercury
Electrodes can indeed be constructed from elemental mercury, as demonstrated by established electrochemical techniques utilizing hanging mercury drop electrodes.
The claim states that electrodes can be constructed from elemental mercury. Papers [0] and [1] both explicitly utilize mercury electrodes (such as the hanging mercury drop electrode) in electrochemical research and voltammetry, directly supporting the validity of the claim.
