  • 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.

     

    Device Usage

    • Temperature measurement with different temperature sensor (resistance thermometers Ni 1000, ni 5000, Pt 1000)
    • Voltage measurement
    • Conductivity and resistance measurement
    • Amperometry measurement

  • 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).

  • 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.
