Metal Wire Auxiliary Electrode – 50HX15 0.6/250 mm (redox.me)

The metal wire counter (auxiliary) electrode is provided in the electrochemical cell as a current sink to shunt excess current away from the reference electrode. The counter electrode is generally chosen to be inert under reaction conditions, typically platinum, rhodium, palladium, or gold wire. It well fits aqueous (FKM O-Ring) and organic solvent (FFKM O-Ring) electrolyte requirements.

 

Application note
The metal wire electrode is immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a counter electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a certain amount of time. After the process, the electrode should be washed several times with isopropanol or ethanol and dried under the nitrogen flow. Store the metal wire electrode in the glass vial sealed with O-rings (all included in the package).

  • 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.

  • Working Disk Electrode – PEEK body 6 mm dia., 70 mm long (redox.me)

    This is a Standard Working Electrode in which a disk of electrode material (glassy carbon, gold, platinum, silver, boron-doped diamond, palladium, titanium, and copper) is embedded into the PEEK body by a compressed PTFE or PEEK sleeve. It well fits aqueous and organic solvent electrolyte requirements. If you need a different disk material, please contact us.

     

    Application note
    The disk electrode is immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a working electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a certain amount of time. After the experiment, the electrode should be washed several times with ethanol or isopropanol. If the disk electrode was used as a current collector with other electrode material, or when there are visible traces of material absorption, it should be polished down to the mirror surface after the experiment is completed. Store the working disk electrode in the glass tube sealed with an O-ring (all included in the package). Instruction on maintenance is provided on the Electrode Polishing Kit product page. 

     

    Specification

    disk diameter: 2, 3, 4 or 5 mm
    disk length: 1.5 mm for BDD, 3 mm for the rest
    body material: PEEK with PTFE or PEEK sleeve
    body diameter: 6 mm
    body length: 70 mm
