Platinum Mesh as Counter Electrode
Providing high conductivity, chemical inertness and facilitating auxiliary reactions
Specifications | Gallery | Literature | Related Products | Technical Support
With relatively large surface area, platinum mesh has been a good choice of counter electrode (CE) material given its ability to promote oxidation and reduction reactions. As a ubiquitous CE choice, platinum mesh finds applications in fuel cells, membrane electrode assembly (MEA) electrolyzers, gas diffusion electrode (GDE) flow cells, and many other electrochemical technologies.
Being chemically inert, platinum mesh electrode has also been extensively employed in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), bulk electrolysis and electrosynthesis, facilitating high-current synthetic or analytical redox transformations without contaminating the electrolyte. Platinum mesh electrode acts as a stable current sink during potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies. Due to its high catalytic activity and stability, it has also been used in hydrogen and oxygen evolution or reduction reactions.
