BM EC 15 mL - Bottom Mount Electrochemical Cell

Stationary-solution voltammetry cell for measurements of a thin film deposited on a flat substrate. The sample is loaded from the bottom via screw mount, while counter and/or reference electrodes are mounted in a top casing (2- or 3-electrode setup). Cell elements are constructed from materials inert to the sample (glass and PEEK). Fits aqueous (FKM/EPDM O-Rings) and organic solvent (FFKM O-Rings) electrolyte requirements. Construction is gas-tight; suitable for removal and exclusion of contaminants such as oxygen and water by bubbling inert gas through the electrolyte. A magnetic version of this cell is also available (BMM EC 15 mL).

Application note The reference electrode tip should be placed close to the bottom of the chamber (3–5 mm), where the working electrode is exposed to the electrolyte. This will ensure a negligible potential drop throughout the electrolyte solution for low-current experiments. Various auxiliary electrodes are suitable including metal wire, metal foil, and graphite rod. The bubbling of gas through the solution must be stopped prior to experiment.
