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.

  • 8/16-Channel Potentiostat for High Resolution Data Logger

    The device consists of a combination of an multi-channel potentiostat/converter (BVT Technologies) and an external USB Pico ADC high resolution data logger (Pico Technology).

     

    The data logger can be supplied in two versions: ADC-20 (20 bits, 8 channels) or ADC-24 (24 bits, 16 channels). For detailed specifications, see the attachment at the end of the document. The device allows measurements from up to 8 or from up to 16 independent channels. The basic output signal is a voltage in the range of -2.5 to 2.5 V. All channels are programmable (the output can be concentration, temperature, pressure…).

     

    After connecting the device to a PC with Pico Technology’s Picolog 6 measurement program installed, the voltage [V] can be processed using math channels and directly recorded in real time as temperature, current, resistance, frequency, % and pressure, see measurement example at the end of the document.

     

    For temperature measurement, the device is compatible with resistance thermometers (Ni 1000, Ni 5000, Pt 1000. Power is provided via USB-B, the maximum electrical consumption of the device is 500 mA.

  • FC.1ISE.1REF Flow cell for single ion selective electrode with integrated stirring

    The 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.

  • 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:

    1. 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.  
    2. 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.
    3. 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.  
    4. 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.
    5. 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.  
    6. 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.  
    7. 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.
