Activation furnance for electrochemical sensors

The activation furnance is a device used for curing individual sensors of the AC1 type. At a defined temperature (up to 1000 °C) depending on the electrode and sensor materials. When the sensor is cured, the surface of the electrodes is cleaned from surface oxides and organic impurities, which results in regeneration of the sensor or its activation. In this way, for example, old sensors with immobilized enzyme layers can be cured for reuse – see example at the end ot the document.

Basic Sample Holder – metal contact, 4 mm max. thickness (redox.me)

Basic Sample Holder with a metal contact works as an electrical conductor between an electrode material (free-standing or deposited on a substrate) and an external circuit. This holder consists of PEEK body, pure Tantalum, Stainless Steel 316L, Titanium, Copper or Nickel metal electrical contact, and PEEK screw to fix the electrode. It is compatible with most of inorganic and organic based plates, free-standing membranes or thin films deposited on flexible and rigid substrates. A maximum thickness of the sample is 4 mm. Tantalum is known to be inert to practically all organic and inorganic compounds. Tantalum’s corrosion resistance is very similar to that of glass, as both are unsuitable for use in hydrofluoric acid and strong hot alkali applications. Therefore, in those cases, we recommend the other wire contact variant. The metal contact can be fully immersed in the electrolyte.

Application note
Generally, the electrode is fabricated by fixing the electrochemical active sample into the holder using a screw. Such electrode is immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a working electrode or counter electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a certain amount of time. Metal wire contact is permanently installed in the PEEK body. The holder is designed to be used multiple times. The holder should be cleaned prior to the installation of electrode material.

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 15x15mm²minimum electrolyte volume: 2.5 mL

Alternate mode: this mode switches all activated channels within the specified time interval of a measurement.

In both modes the unselected Working Electrodes can either be left floating or switched to Ground to keep the specified voltage.

Supports a 2-, 3- or 4-electrode setup

Connect four electrodes per channel by using the Sense Leads.

Or connect only three electrodes per channel by internally connecting all Sense electrodes to the Working Electodes in software.

Do you need to connect only two electrodes per channel? Combine the reference and counter electrode physically on the cable, or with a single click on the PSTrace software.

8 to 128 channels

Is 8 channels not enough? If more channels are required, one or more MUX-R2 can be stacked to the EmStat4 MUX for a total of up to 128 channels.

Script your experiments!

Via the script window of PSTrace it is possible to perform a different experiment on each of the channels sequentially. Alternatively, you can use MethodSCRIPT to fully customize your measurements per channel.

Multichannel or Multiplexer?

To make it easier for you to decide, if a multiplexer or a multichannel device is more suitable for your application, we have created a short explanation of multiplexers and multichannels.

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.

Safety note:
The use of a High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell involves working with equipment capable of withstanding elevated pressures and conducting experiments with potentially reactive chemicals. Ensuring safety during operation is paramount to prevent accidents and protect personnel and equipment. Below are key safety considerations to observe when using the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell:

1. Prior to operation, all personnel involved should receive comprehensive training on the setup, operation, and safety protocols associated with the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell. Only trained individuals familiar with the equipment should be permitted to operate it.

2. Adhere strictly to the specified pressure limitations of the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell. Do not exceed the recommended pressure range to prevent over-pressurization, which could lead to equipment failure and potential hazards.

3. Ensure that all materials, including electrodes, seals, and electrolytes, are compatible with the pressure and chemical environment inside the cell. Incompatibilities could result in leaks, corrosion, or other safety hazards.

4. Verify that the pressure relief mechanism is in place and functioning correctly. This mechanism is crucial for safely releasing excess pressure in the event of over-pressurization.

5. Regularly inspect the seals and connections of the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Replace any compromised components promptly to maintain sealing integrity and prevent pressure-related accidents.

Membrane Capacitive Deionization configurable cell (redox.me)
Membrane Capacitive Deionization (MCDI) configurable cell has been designed to conduct research on removal of charged ionic species from aqueous or organic solutions (i.e., Desalination/Demineralization) via electrostatic (i.e., non-Faradaic) or electrochemical (redox) interactions. The MCDI cell contains two graphite current collectors that can serve as polarization electrodes. However, if the electrode material is the subject of research, it should be applied to an additional current collector, such as graphite paper or metal felt (not included in the product). Different electrode materials can be installed on both sides of the cell. If the thickness of these electrodes exceeds 250 micrometers, different gaskets are required. In such a case, please contact us for a solution.

The cell is designed in such a way that replacing the electrodes does not require removing the membranes or flow fields. It is enough to unscrew the plungers on both sides and replace the electrodes. In the standard configuration, the liquid in the main channel and side channels flows through the flow field cut from PEEK. However, these can be replaced with a porous material such as felt or a battery spacer, which will allow fluid flow. If work with materials of dimensions different from those listed in the specification is required, we can supply seals of different thicknesses or customize the cell. The cell allows for the installation of one or two ion-exchange membranes (not included in the setup). Their thickness is not critical, and it is not necessary to adjust the thickness of the membrane gaskets pressing them. The cell elements are constructed with inert materials to the sample (PEEK). It well fits aqueous (FKM gaskets and O-rings) and organic solvent (FFKM gaskets and O-rings) electrolyte requirements. The construction of the cell is gas-tight.

Application note:
MCDI cell can be configured to allow the following cell architectures:

Flow-by CDI consisting of: (i) two porous carbon or metal based current collectors coated with capacitive (e. non-Faradaic) material, and (ii) a main flow field enabling the feed water to be transported between electrodes. In this configuration, side flow fields and membranes are not installed.

Membrane CDI consisting of: (i) two porous carbon or metal based current collectors coated with capacitive (e. non-Faradaic) material, (ii) two ion-exchange membranes (cation exchange membrane and anion exchange membrane) separating electrodes from the main flow field, and (iii) a main flow field enabling the feed water to be transported between electrodes. In this configuration, side flow fields are typically not installed. However, there are cases where installing both side flow fields is justified. All the graphics included in the product page refer to that configuration.

Inverted CDI consisting of: (i) two porous carbon or metal based current collectors coated with capacitive (e. non-Faradaic) material where anode is treated for net negative surface charge and a cathode is treated for net positive surface charge, and (ii) a main flow field enabling the feed water to be transported between electrodes. In this configuration, side flow fields and membranes are not installed.

Flow-electrode CDI consisting of: (i) two porous carbon or metal based current collectors with ﬂowing electrodes made of capacitive (e. non-Faradaic) carbon suspension, (ii) two ion-exchange membranes (cation exchange membrane and anion exchange membrane) separating electrodes from the flow chamber, (iii) a main flow field enabling the feed water to be transported between electrodes, and (iv) two side flow fields for liquid electrodes. All the graphics included in the product page refer to that configuration.

Hybrid CDI consisting of: (i) a Faradaic (e. battery) electrode for cation adsorption/desorption, (ii) a capacitive (i.e. non-Faradaic) electrode for anion adsorption/desorption, (iii) an anion exchange membrane placed adjacent to the capacitive electrode, and (iv) a main flow field enabling the feed water to be transported between electrodes. In this configuration, side flow fields and a cation-exchange membrane are not installed.

Cation intercalation desalination consisting of: (i) two porous carbon or metal based current collectors coated with Faradaic cation intercalation materials, (ii) an anion exchange membrane separating electrodes, and (iii) a main flow field enabling the feed water to be transported between electrodes. In this configuration, one side flow field and cation-exchange membrane are not installed.

Desalination battery consisting of: (i) two porous carbon or metal based current collectors coated with redox (e. Faradaic) material (one for cation adsorption/desorption and the other for anion adsorption/desorption), and (ii) a main flow field enabling the feed water to be transported between electrodes. In this configuration, side flow fields and membranes are not installed.
