Some of the advantages of dropping mercury electrode(DME) are as follows:
Mercury form amalgam with most metals.
Mercury has a high hydrogen overvoltage.
It provides a smooth, fresh surface for the reaction.
Each drop remains unaffected and does not become contaminated by the deposited metal.
Diffusion equilibrium is readily established at mercury-solution interface
