Electrochemical Cell to Study Electrochemical Processes
The electrochemical cell has been designed by HORIBA Jobin Yvon for the study of electrochemical processes using UVISEL spectroscopic ellipsometer.
Optical access to the sample is made via 3 fused silica windows. Two of the windows are mounted at 70º to normal for ellipsometry access, and the third port allows the user to observe the sample inside the cell. The cell body that comes into contact with the sample is manufactured from PVC, and the sample holder is manufactured from PTFE to avoid any interaction with the medium.
The cell volume is 43 ml, and comprises an Ag/AgCl reference electrode and a platinum counter electrode. Electrical contacts are provided by robust, high integrity feedthroughs.
Maintenance and replacement:
-
Frequency: Clean the cell and its components after each use or at regular intervals, depending on the frequency of use and type of experiments.
-
Visual Check: Inspect the electrodes for signs of wear, corrosion, or buildup of reaction products.
- Replacement: Replace electrodes if they show significant wear or if their performance has deteriorated.
- Seals and O-Rings: Regularly inspect seals and O-rings for signs of wear or damage. Replace them as necessary to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks.
- Inspection: Check for scratches or other damage that could affect the quality of the optical measurements. Replace the windows if they are damaged.
