Three Electrode Battery Test Cell – compression controlled (redox.me)
This cell is designed as high-quality alternative to Swagelok-type constructions for reproducible electrochemical measurements of battery and supercapacitor materials.
The cell consists of two main elements:
(i) the cell base with micrometre screw and compression spring, which allows precise control of pressure applied to the electrode sandwich; and
(ii) electrode cartridge where the anode, cathode and reference electrode are located.
The (default) electrode cartridge and plungers are designed for planar electrodes with diameter of 18 mm and total sandwich thickness of 2.5 mm. The diameter of separator shall be at least 2 mm larger than electrode diameter (max. 22 mm). The lock ring secures the separator in the electrode cartridge allowing easy and safe electrodes insertion, while ensuring accurate alignment. The upper and lower electrode plungers are available in various materials: 316L Stainless Steel (default), copper, aluminum, nickel etc. The pin-type reference electrode is installed from the side of the electrode cartridge. Thanks to sharp edged hole at the end of the pin the reference electrode (Li/Na/K etc.) can be easily punched from the metal foil and directly loaded into cell. The magnetic mount facilitates rapid assembly of the cartridge in the cell base. The force applied to the electrodes can reach up to 90N and is adjusted with the micrometer control knob. For 2-electrode measurements, the reference electrode feedthrough hole can be closed with the reference electrode punch.
The cell elements are constructed with materials that are inert to the sample (Stainless steel and PEEK). It well fits aqueous (FKM and EPDM O-Rings) and organic solvent (FFKM O-Rings) electrolyte requirements. Good electrical contact is ensured by gold plated pins. The construction is gas-tight and can be effortlessly assembled in the glove box, reducing possible human error to minimum.
Application note:
This cell can be used for all common battery measurements, such as galvanostatic cycling, cyclic voltammetry or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Both liquid and solid-state or gel-polymer electrolytes can be studied. Additionally, properties and performance of supercapacitor materials can be investigated. Various materials can be examined, including typical Li-ion electrodes (graphite, NMC, LTO etc.) and other chemistries – sodium, magnesium, potassium etc. It can also be applied to measure the ionic conductivity of separators and electrolytes. Owing to the micrometer control knob, the relationship between the initial pressure applied to the cell and the performance of solid-state electrolytes or metal plating process (anode-free systems) can be studied.
The above graph shows relation of pressure applied to electrode stack and distance travelled from the point of contact. The point of contact can be determined by checking OCV (see manual video) or by calculation. To calculate the point of contact, subtract electrode stack thickness from 4 mm. For example, for the 0.9 mm stack, the point of contact (i.e. reading on micrometer screw) will be 4 mm – 0.9 mm = 3.1 mm. Therefore, you should set micrometer screw to 3.1 mm and measure distance/pressure relation from this point.

Membrane Capacitive Deionization configurable cell (redox.me)
Read moreMembrane 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.

EmStat4 MUX (2-in-1: Potentiostat with integrated multiplexer)
Read moreGone are the days with too many cables. With the EmStat4 MUX you have a potentiostat and a multiplexer in one! The EmStat4 MUX is a powerful potentiostat, galvanostat and impedance analyzer and supports all popular electrochemical techniques. Its 8 channels allow for sequential measurements, for example eight Screen-printed electrodes, or eight working electrodes in eight different cells. The instrument’s measurements can be highly customized using MethodSCRIPT. The 4 different cell connections available allow for many different setups. When the measurements are finished, you can easily save your results in PSTrace, or export your results to Excel.
More information could be found tought link:
https://www.palmsens.com/product/emstat4-mux/
- Integrated 8-channel multiplexer
- Supports 2-, 3- and 4-electrode setup using Sense Lead
- Potential range: ± 3V
- Compliance voltage: ± 5V
- Current ranges: 1 nA – 10 mA
- Maximum current: ± 30 mA
- FRA / EIS up to 200 kHz
Two modes of operation
- Consecutive mode: this mode switches channel when a complete measurement has finished
- 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.
