Basic electrochemical cell setup (redox.me)

This is a stationary solution basic electrochemical cell for measurements of electrodes in a form of:

a) rod/disc (6 mm dia.),

b) thin film deposited on a flat substrate (using a wire clip) and

c) membrane (using a wire clip).

 

The working, counter, and reference electrodes are mounted in a top casing either in 2-, or 3-electrode setup. The cell elements are constructed with materials that are inert to the sample (glass and PEEK). It well fits aqueous (FKM/EPDM O-Rings) and organic solvent (FFKM O-Rings) electrolyte requirements. The construction is gas-tight and can be used when the removal and exclusion of contaminants such as oxygen and water is required by bubbling of an inert gas through the electrolyte. The cell chamber is available in several material variants here (glass, PTFE, PEEK)

 

Application note:
The reference electrode tip should be placed at the level of working electrode center. This will ensure a low potential drop throughout the electrolyte solution for low-current experiment. Various auxiliary electrodes are suitable for this cell including metal wire and metal foil electrodes as well as graphite rod. The bubbling of gas through the solution must be stopped prior to experiment.

  • Bottom mount front contact electrochemical cell setup (redox.me)

    This is a static voltammetry cell with variants for different sample dimensions. The sample is loaded from the bottom via magnetic or screw mount, while counter or/and reference electrodes are mounted in the lid as either 2-, or 3-electrode configuration. The cell is constructed with materials that are inert to the sample environment (glass and PEEK), and it can be used with FKM/EPDM O-rings or FFKM O-rings for aqueous or organic electrolyte requirements, respectively. The construction is gas-tight and inert gas can be bubbled through the electrolyte to remove and exclude contaminants such as air or water.

     

    Application note:
    The reference electrode tip should be placed close to the sample surface to ensure a negligible potential drop throughout the electrolyte solution during low-current experiments. In the magnetic variant of the cell, the strength with which the magnets hold the sample is adjusted by adding or removing the washers under the magnets. Thanks to this procedure, the distance between the magnets changes, with it, the force of their attraction. Various auxiliary electrodes are suitable for this cell, including metal wire and metal plate electrodes as well as carbon-based electrodes (graphite or Glassy Carbon). If a purge gas is used, stop the flow during experiments for better results.

    nominal exposure area: 0.07 cm2 for 5x5mm2, 0.2 cm2 for 7x7mm2, 0.5 cm2 for 10x10mm2, and 1.33 cm2 for 15x15mm2

  • Hanging Platinum Drop Electrode

    The Hanging Platinum Drop Electrode (HPDE) is solid phase alanogy of HMDE.

     

    The drop of liquid Pt at 2000 °C forms a drop of Pt. The surface of HPDE has nearly ideal surface which is impossible to obtain using polishing. HPDE has also spherical symmetry which enables mathematical treatment of its response.
    The material is not toxic and it is chemically stable. The only disadvantage is HPDE cleaning, which can be, however, in some cases solved by carefull insertion of the electrode tip to the flame of an alcohol burner.
    Thus HPDE can be used as reference electrode for complicated electrochemical studies, where it is necessary to distinguish the analytical signal from the signal generated by surface inhomogenities.

     

    Hanging platinum drop electrode (HPDE) is designed for measurements with thermostated cell TC4, TC5, TC6 and TC9.

  • Spectro-electrochemical flow cell setup (redox.me)

    This is a horizontally mounted, multi-purpose spectroelectrochemical cell designed to be used with standard UV-Vis or IR spectrometers. It enables obtaining electrochemical and spectroscopic information from liquid sample or thin films in systems where variations in applied potential induce changes in observed spectra. It consists of a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) flow chamber equipped with a magnetic or screw mount sample holder, screw mount quartz window holder and two different mini tripods. It well fits aqueous (FKM O-Rings) and organic solvent (FFKM O-Rings) electrolyte requirements.

    The cell is meant to be used with a standard reference electrode having 6 mm in diameter and a counter electrode either in the form of a rod or helix with 6 mm in diameter and 15 mm active length.

     

    Application note:
    The spectroelectrochemical cell is used to study the relation between absorbance/transmittance and electrochemical potential. It enables real-time monitoring of optical change in electrochromic materials. It also enables in-situ spectral acquisition for detection, identification and characterization of short-lived electrochemically-generated species/intermediates, resulting in a detailed investigation of the mechanistic pathways of redox processes.
