  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.

  Sample Holder 25 mm x 25 mm (redox.me)

  The sample holder (known also as flat specimen holder) is used for holding flat, circular or square/rectangular samples. It enables contacting the sample from the front (e.g. ITO/FTO glass, Monolayer Graphene on SiC, or Boron-Doped Diamond thin film on various substrates) and from the back (e.g. metal specimen, Glassy Carbon plate, Boron-Doped Diamond plate). The default nominal aperture is 1cm², but other value can be provided on request. The large electrical contact with Tantalum (formerly Copper) foil surface (not being in contact with an electrolyte) ensures optimal current collection by minimizing electrical resistance and unifying current distribution. The rod with electrical connection has a diameter of 6 mm, which makes the sample holder compatible with our voltammetry cells and jacketed cells, as long as it fits in. We may also provide an adapter to install this sample holder in openings larger than 6 mm dia.

   

  The sample holder elements are constructed with materials that are inert to the electrochemical system (PEEK, Fluorocarbons). It well fits aqueous (FKM/EPDM O-Rings) and organic solvent (FFKM O-Rings) electrolyte requirements. The construction is well sealed which prevents the electrolyte to leak inside.

   

  Application note
  The sample holder is used largely for corrosion studies. It can be installed in a beaker type cell as well as in testing environments such as open water reservoirs, cans, tanks etc. It can also be used wherever it is necessary to make an electrode using a thin layer of an active material deposited on a flat substrate (conducting or insulating).

  Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode with Holder – set of 10 pcs (redox.me)

  The metal counter (auxiliary) electrode is provided in electrochemical cell as a current sink to shunt excess current away from the reference electrode. Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode is a cheap alternative to pure Platinum Electrodes like Platinum Gauze Electrode or Metal Wire Auxiliary Electrode. Platinum coating makes this counter electrode inert under the reaction conditions and provides catalytic properties. The electrode is installed in the Basic Sample Holder (1 pcs included in the set), which allows full immersion of the electrode in the electrolyte (wet Tantalum contact). It well fits aqueous and organic solvent electrolyte requirements. Electrode size is customizable. 

   

  Application note
  The Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode is fully immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a counter electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode for a certain amount of time. After the process, the electrode should be washed several times with ethanol and dried under the nitrogen flow. Store the electrode in a dedicated compartment to avoid scratching. Discoloration may indicate the degradation (dissolution) of the Platinum layer and oxidation of Titanium mesh. 
  This electrode is used mainly in systems where there is a high risk of its contamination by organic or inorganic deposit during the electrochemical reaction. It is also a cheap replacement for pure Platinum electrode in electrodeposition processes.

   

  Specification
  Titanium grade: GR1
  working current: <5000 A/m²
  Platinum content: >15 g/m²
  Platinum coating thickness: 760 – 1500 nm
  mesh hole size: 3 mm x 2 mm
  mesh thickness: 0.5 mm
  electrode size: 25x25mm², 50x50mm², 100x100mm², custom
  pH range: 1-12
