  • Modular PEM Electrolyzer Test Station up to 3 kW (redox.me)

    The Modular PEM Electrolyzer Test Station is a versatile and flexible solution designed for the testing and evaluation of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. Unlike fully automated, integrated systems, this platform features modular components that can be easily swapped by the end user, allowing for customized setups and adaptability to different testing needs. The platform is engineered to provide precise control and measurement of electrochemical performance while offering the convenience of easily replaceable parts.

    This design enables users to test various configurations, integrate new modules, and adapt the system to specific research or development objectives without the need for specialized equipment or extensive downtime. Ideal for research labs and development environments, this platform supports the advancement of PEM electrolyzer technology through hands-on, flexible experimentation.

     

    Application note:
    Ideal for researchers investigating new PEM materials, flow field designs, and cell configurations. The system is an excellent tool for academic institutions and training centers, providing students and researchers with a hands-on understanding of PEM electrolysis processes and system operation. PEM Electrolyzer Test Station with power up to 3 kW is suitable for testing lab-scale or small to medium-scale electrolyzers, typically up to 60 cm². If the power requirements for a given electrolyzer are less than 2 A/cm², larger electrolyzers up to 100 cm² or more can also be tested.
    The entire system, as well as its component parts, are CE certified, which signifies that a product meets European Union (EU) health, safety, and environmental protection standards. Other certificates are available upon request.

  • 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.

     

    Specification
    holder body material: PEEK
    rod diameter: 6 mm
    contact material: Ta, SS 316L, Ti, Cu or Ni
    contact wire diameter: 0.6 mm
    contact wire total length: 110 mm
    holder length: 70 mm
    maximum sample thickness: 4 mm

  • Working Disk Electrode – PEEK body 6 mm dia., 70 mm long (redox.me)

    This is a Standard Working Electrode in which a disk of electrode material (glassy carbon, gold, platinum, silver, boron-doped diamond, palladium, titanium, and copper) is embedded into the PEEK body by a compressed PTFE or PEEK sleeve. It well fits aqueous and organic solvent electrolyte requirements. If you need a different disk material, please contact us.

     

    Application note
    The disk electrode is immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a working electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a certain amount of time. After the experiment, the electrode should be washed several times with ethanol or isopropanol. If the disk electrode was used as a current collector with other electrode material, or when there are visible traces of material absorption, it should be polished down to the mirror surface after the experiment is completed. Store the working disk electrode in the glass tube sealed with an O-ring (all included in the package). Instruction on maintenance is provided on the Electrode Polishing Kit product page. 

     

    Specification

    disk diameter: 2, 3, 4 or 5 mm
    disk length: 1.5 mm for BDD, 3 mm for the rest
    body material: PEEK with PTFE or PEEK sleeve
