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.

  • Basic electrochemical H-cell setup (redox.me)

    This is a stationary solution double compartment electrochemical H-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 counter electrode is placed in a compartment separated from the other electrodes by ion-exchange membrane (19 mm to 25 mm dia.), so the electrochemical products appearing at working and counter electrode do not affect the opposite electrode. The counter electrode compartment is equipped with a separate inlet and outlet for easy filling with an electrolyte and evacuation of gaseous products. It can accommodate standard Metal Wire Auxiliary Electrode as well as square shape electrodes with sizes up to 25 mm x 25 mm. 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. After removal of the counter electrode glass compartment, the cell gets the functionality of a Basic Electrochemical Cell – BEC 50 mL. 

    The cell chamber is available in several material variants here.

     

    Application note:
    The reference electrode tip and working disk electrode tip should be placed in the middle of the membrane. 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/mesh/foam electrodes as well as graphite rod. The bubbling of gas through the solution must be stopped prior to experiment. 

     

    Specification:
    minimum electrolyte volume in WE compartment: 22 mL
    minimum electrolyte volume in CE compartment: 6 mL
    maximum electrolyte volume: 40 mL

  • FC3.TL.* LED Flow Cell

    The flow cell enables the use of Screen printed sensors in a flow through arrangement for spectroelectrochemical measurements1,2.

     

    The flow cell is suitable for sensors of type AC1, AC2, CC1, CC2 and CC3.

     

    The Screen printed sensor is inserted into the slit of cell and tightened by closing of the door.  The cell ensures the wall-jet flow around the working electrode and it is optimised so that no air bubbles cumulate in the cell. The cell contains also the contact and output cable.

    With the sensors enclosed in a flow cell, it is possible to measure semi-automatically or automatically using a pump or liquid switch for sample supply. Under such conditions, maximum measurement reproducibility is ensured.

  • 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. 

     

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