Raman Electrochemical Flow Cell, active area: 3.5 cm2, volume: 4.5 mL (redox.me)
This cell combines two classical analytical techniques such as electrochemistry and Raman spectroscopy, to obtain in-situ chemical information about the reactions taking place during an electrochemical experiment. It consists mainly of three elements: (i) sample holder with Tantalum (formerly Copper) foil serving as an electric contact to working electrode surface, (ii) chamber in which reference and counter electrodes are installed together with electrolyte inlet and outlet and (iii) lid which seals the cell and holds the Sapphire window. The sample consisting of a thin film of electrochemically active material deposited on a rigid or flexible substrate (working electrode) is loaded from the bottom via magnetic or screw mount. The counter or/and reference electrodes are mounted in a top casing (either 2-, or 3-electrode setup. The oval counter electrode made of e.g. Platinum wire assures uniform distribution of the field lines along the path to working electrode. During an experiment Raman laser is focused onto the surface of a thin film working electrode through a transparent Sapphire window and thin layer of electrolyte (total optical path of 3.25 mm). The electrolyte thickness of 2.25 mm ensures free diffusion of ions (e.g. protons) and its counter ions.
The electrode adapter for installing 6 mm dia. electrodes inside Raman ECFC is available here. It enables using disk electrode, plug with clip or any other rod-shape electrode (e.g. graphite rod) or current collector (e.g. metal mesh, graphite coated metal mesh, metal foil, graphite coated metal foil, metal foam, carbon woven and non-woven fabrics, carbon paper, etc.) as working electrode instead of a flat electrode in default Raman ECFC configuration.
The screw mount variant of Raman ECFC can be converted into GDE Raman ECFC by using Gas Compartment. This conversion allows installation of Gas Diffusion Electrodes as working electrode.
The cell elements are constructed with materials that are inert to the sample (PEEK, Fluorocarbons). It well fits aqueous (FKM 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 (in an external reservoir).
Application note:
This cell can be used to track kinetic phenomena such as the near-surface proton concentration changes during oxidation and reduction reaction at working electrode. It can be also used to identify materials such as carbon, metal oxides, polymers and electrolytes, and to determine their structure and distribution. Various metals are suitable for this cell as auxiliary electrode including Platinum, Gold and Silver.

Hanging Platinum Drop Electrode
Read moreThe 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.

FC.1ISE.1REF Flow cell for single ion selective electrode with integrated stirring
Read moreThe flow cell with integrated stirring and reduced hydrodynamic noise is designed for the determination of single analyte using one miniature ion-selective electrode (ISE) and one miniature reference electrode with a diameter of 6 mm and length of 60 mm.
Rotation speed of integrated stirrer: 10-4000 rmp.
Miniature ion-selective electrodes and reference electrode were designed for integration into the flow cell for determination of Cl-, K+, Ca2+ and Na+ ions.
In flow mode, the system can operate automatically. The speed of the integrated stirrer can also be controlled by applying the corresponding voltage to the motor, connected to a stabilized source.
The flow cell with one selected ISE can be used for:
- Automatic or semi-automatic measurement of concentration of Cl-, K+, Ca2+ and Na+ ions in various solutions (following prior calibration)
- For continuous measurement of changes in concentration of Cl-, K+, Ca2+ and Na+ ions.
