ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu
Test cell for optical characterization in the reflective mode with face-to-face arrangement of electrodes. For aqueous electrochemistry.
The ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu test cell serves to monitor the optical properties of an electrode material in the course of electrochemical charging. For this purpose, the working electrode (WE) material, which is supported on a meshed or holed current collector, is placed right below the optical window. This WE is sandwiched from below with a glass fiber separator and an appropriate counter electrode (CE).
This way, the optical instrument “looks” from the top through the optical window onto the backside of the electrode material. Typical instrumentations include optical and confocal Raman microscopy in the reflection mode. Special window materials such as saphire, beryllium, polyimide are available. Please refer to the separate manual of the ECC-Opto-Std.

Features
Features
2- and 3-electrode cell with optical window for aqueous electrochemistry Materials in media contact are gold, PEEK and EPDM The backside of the working electrode material can be observed through the optical window on top. Inspection area diameter is 1 mm. Other diameters up to 10 mm available. Typically used in combination with optical or Raman microscopy in the reflection mode. Working electrodes can be single crystals or grains, powder samples and free-standing electrodes (applied onto current collector mesh). Maximum electrode diameter is 10 mm. Easy and clean electrolyte filling via the vacuum (syringe) method.Specifications
