Overview

Horizontally mounted, double compartment photo-electrochemical H-Cell for simultaneous or individual investigation of thin film photo-anode and photo-cathode. Cell elements are made of PEEK and fluoropolymers. Suitable for aqueous (FKM O-Rings) and organic solvent (FFKM O-Rings) electrolytes. Gas-tight construction with two separate chambers, each equipped with gas inlet and outlet, allowing solution bubbling and gas evacuation. Chambers are separated by an ion-exchange membrane (e.g. DuPont Nafion® membrane).

Application Note

Allows several approaches for 2- or 3-electrode setup measurements. Designed to investigate performance of a thin film photo-anode or photo-cathode (e.g. nanocrystalline material or conducting polymer) deposited on a rigid or flexible transparent substrate (typically fused quartz glass). The 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 on rigid or flexible substrate. The reference electrode is mounted in a top casing of the same chamber as the studied photo-electrode.

Various auxiliary electrodes are suitable including metal wire, gauze, foil electrodes, non-metal electrodes and thin films.

Typical applications: basic photochemistry (photo-catalysis), photolytic water splitting, photoinduced charge separation and photo-corrosion.
