H-Type Sealed Micro-electrochemical Cell
H-Type Sealed Micro-electrochemical Cell, Sided Gas or Vertical Gas Inlet/Outlet
Sleek design of a H-type micro-volume electrochemical cell to minimize consumption of rare or expensive electrolytes
H-type sealed micro-electrochemical cell is a double chambered three-electrode sealed electrochemical reaction cell where two chambers of anode and cathode electrolytes are separated by a replaceable ion-exchange membrane. H-type sealed micro-electrochemical cell is designed for small volume of electrolyte, i.e. 5 ml in each compartment equipped tightly sealed lids with air inlet and outlet pipes to maintain an oxygen-free environment or under a certain gas atmosphere.
With small volume double chambers, the H-type sealed micro-electrochemical cell allows the reference electrode and working electrode in close vicinity in the same chamber, while the working electrode and the counter electrode in different chamber towers. The H-type sealed micro-electrochemical cell is suitable for catalytical electrochemical carbon reduction reaction (CRR), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), or nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) that the separation of the anode and cathode is required by an ion exchange membrane.
This product features two different designs where gas inlets/outlets are either placed in the same ports of working and counter electrodes (C2032G1, 10/20 ml), or they are placed separately as side ports (M2032H1, 5/15 ml), shown below. H-type sealed micro-electrochemical cell also features the followings.
- Detachable chambers for easy access and cleaning
- Short distance between working and counter electrodes to lower internal resistance
- Reference electrode close to the working electrode to reduce R-drop
- Working electrode options include disk electrodes and electrode holders
- Counter electrode options include platinum and graphite electrodes
- Approximately 5 ml when the membrane is fully submerged on one side, and approximately 15 ml when fully filled on one side (M2032H1, 5/15 ml)
- Approximately 10 ml when the membrane is fully submerged on one side, and approximately 20 ml when fully filled on one side (M2032G1, 10/20 ml)
- The main cell has an inner diameter of approximately 16 mm, allowing the accommodation of three-electrode system
- Suitable for testing systems requiring ion exchange membranes to separate the anode and cathode, such as CRR, ORR, and NRR.
