MM PEC H-Cell 2x15 mL- Magnetic Mount Photo-Electrochemical H-Cell
This is a horizontally mounted, double compartment photo-electrochemical H-Cell used to simultaneously investigate thin film photo-anodes and cathodes. The cell elements are made of PEEK. It well fits aqueous and organic solvent electrolyte requirements. The construction is gas-tight having two separate chambers, each equipped with gas inlet and outlet. This allows bubbling the solution and evacuating gases. Chambers are separated with an ion-exchange membrane (e.g. DuPont’s Nafion® membrane), so the electrochemial products appearing at photo-anode and cathode do not affect the opposite electrode. Application noteThis cell allows several approaches to perform measurements in 2- or 3-electrode setups. It is designed to investigate performance of a thin film photo-anode (e.g. nanocrystalline material or conducting polymer) deposited on a rigid or flexible transparent substrate (typically fused quartz glass). The cathode (counter electrode) is mounted in the second chamber either in a top casing or attached on the side of the cell as a thin film deposited on rigid or flexible substrate. The reference electrode is mounted in a top casing of the same chamber as the photo-anode. Various auxiliary electrodes are suitable for this cell including metal wire, gauze and foil electrodes as well as non-metal electrodes and thin films. Typical applications include: basic photochemistry, photolytic water splitting, photoinduced charge separation and photocorrosion.
